22 March 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good, clean, but lacking any character/atmosphere. Good place to base yourself from to see the sights - so was fine for a couple of days, but not a long-term option really.

Disliked: No real atmosphere. Plus the price is pretty strong considering you are ONLY getting a bed and a view for that...

Liked: the view from the roof top terrace was great, and was a short distance to the harbour. the kitchen area in the communal area was well equipped and clean

Disliked: came from the airport having been on an international flight, but it was before the checking in time we had to put our luggage in the lockers which charged by the hour we were a family of 7 so lots of cases and hand luggage and quite a few lockers!!

Liked: Great place. One of the best hostels I've ever been to.

Disliked: Atmosphere, safety, cleanliness, view from the building to the harbor. It even has an identity of its own. It's very interesting in terms of architecture and is built on top of archeological findings which can be enjoyed from the hostel.
