09 February 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I moved into a single room which was very loud in the night given that it was next to a door that lead to the bathrooms and beer garden...this kept me awake all night. I asked to be moved the next day and the woman on reception was very helpful in moving me despite saying that all rooms were fully booked. Thank you I managed to sleep for the rest of the week!

Disliked: Too noisey if you were staying in a room by bathrooms or exit to beer garden. The computers did not have skype facilities.

Liked: Very nice location next to the beach, restaurants and tram stop.

Disliked: Facilities were not very good, not many toilets or showers. Shower and toilet were in the same room so when people spend 20 minutes in the shower it's not nice to wait.

Liked: The location is great. The beach and some pubs are just around the corner. There is a clean kitchen available were you can cook and you can rent DVDs for free. The staff is really nice and help you if you have any quastions or problems.

Disliked: We first had a very cold room but were able to change to another room. This hostel has no heater, so it can become very cold in some nights! Internet could be a little chaeper, it´s 3$ for 30 minutes.
