Staying at this hostel was a mixed experience for me. The location is great, very close to the beach and local attractions, but the overall cleanliness and facilities left much to be desired. The room was cramped and the shared bathrooms were in need of better maintenance. It’s well-priced, but you definitely get what you pay for.

During my stay, I found the hostel to be centrally located and offering decent prices, but the experience was marred by various issues. The rooms were cramped and uncomfortable, especially with the triple bunks, and the shared facilities were poorly maintained. The kitchen lacked adequate space and cleanliness, and the showers were not in good shape. Overall, it’s an affordable option for a short visit, but I wouldn’t recommend it for comfort or cleanliness.
