12 January 2012 Maren Janina would recommend this property

Liked: It had air conditioning and a free shuttle bus to the city and a pick up from the airport. The pool and the volleyball field are nice and it was quiet at night. Also the ATM and a small shop directly in the hostel are great.

Disliked: The air conditioning is a little bit too cold and breezes exactly to all beds (tried 3 rooms in total during 2 stays) and you can't lower it manually. The rooms smell a little bit although you can open a window.

Liked: I liked the pool and onsite facilities, everything there for you.

Disliked: The only thing is that the hostel is not central and have to utilise the free bus service. A minor thing but have to plan your time around the bus times.

Liked: excellent value for money, cheap bar and great food deals. Lovely walk into town along the esplanade, or free shuttle if you can't be bothered.

Disliked: Washing line was just too small for the size of the hostel and there was often no space to hang your laundry. It was also located right next to the smoking area which flavoured the scent of your wash-load. Internet access expensive.

Liked: Double room was comfortable, clean sheets, lovely pool and social areas. Internet access available, relatively quiet during the night.

Disliked: Location about 25 minutes walk from the city centre, shuttle bus service to and from the city poor - never arrived on time and they do not offer a service between 6 and 10 to the city which is the optimum time to visit the city to go out for a meal or for drinks. Room smelt a little.
