Liked: garden, cheap food & drinks, bar

Disliked: far from the beach, dirty room, noisy, we had to hand in our car keys at the reception (because they had to move the car around due to little parking space)

21 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: They had an amazing common area with cheap drinks during happy hour. Staff were very helpful. Met some fantastic people! Although it is located a bit out of the way trams run regularly and the shuttle service the hostel offers is great!

Disliked: No air con in rooms, it was very hot. Even fans would've been better than nothing. There were no bins in the bathrooms or dorms. There was also not enough lockers in the dorm rooms eg. 5 lockers for an 8 bed dorm.

19 August 2011 Claire would recommend this property

Liked: The atmosphere and bar is absolutel amazing, it is impossible not to make friends! Also staff are amazing and always went above and beyondò for example I lost my camera charger and one of the girls that worked there had the same camera so bought hers in from home for me! So lovely!

Disliked: Its really really picky but the powerpoints are all at the end of the room so it means you cant have your phone or camera and charge it next to you at night which i always prefer to do!

18 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was a great place to stay, although a little way from the centre and beach this is made up for the fact that there is a free shuttle bus to and from the tram stop. The atmosphere was great, food was good (especially the breakfast). Overall would definitely recommend!

Disliked: The only downside was that a few more showers and toilets would be nice (there was only one of each for the shared rooms).

15 August 2011

Liked: Dinners very good and cheap (7€). Free Wifi. Beautiful gardens. The hostel staff provides a lot of info about visiting other cities.

Disliked: - Too noisy at night!! The music in the bar is very noisy! The hostel wants to make money with the its rooms and its bar/disco as well. The posters in the gardens, corridors and common areas saying "do not make noise after 10 PM" is useless if the noise source is its bar/disco. - No locker (at least in my room). - No air conditioning in summer. - Far from the city centre and the beaches. - The computers keyboards do not work very well.

15 August 2011 Alison would recommend this property

Liked: Awesome common room to meet people in. Efficiently run. Computers. They have a piano.

Disliked: The location was never an issue (because of the shuttle they provide and the ease of the tram) until it came to going out and taxis not being available. Would've walked if it were closer.

13 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the "excursion" deals. They had some really great opportunities for a really good value. I got to go scuba diving for only €45

Disliked: To reach the property, you had to walk up a very steep hill (practically straight up) or wait 10-15 min for a van in front of a supermarket.

Liked: nice big hall where everyone can meet at the bar

Disliked: not really close to the city center

11 August 2011

Liked: The cat and free tea and coffee all day

Disliked: 1. The first night there they stuffed up some poor girls booking so she had to sleep on the floor in our room next to the bathroom so everyone was stepping over her to get in and out 2. The rooms are so cramped with no where to put anyones stuff 3. Breakfast is only toast and cereal and 3 of the cereals are cornflakes 4. The staff are so rude, the cleaner threw out my facewash and conditioner in the bathroom and when I told reception they just said "we didn't do it, it's their job to clean up" and when I was getting in the shuttle the Asian staff member slammed the door shut on my hand and didn't even apologize. 5. My room key didn't work 6. At breakfast this girl comes around and hassles you asking what your doing today and trying to get you to do their activities when all u really want to do is ear breakfast. This is the by far the worst hostel I have stayed in and also by far the most expensive. Would definately nor reccommend staying here.

Liked: It is very nice, well presented. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Food available is excellent, especially for the prices charged. Regular shuttle to and from the tram stop is great.

Disliked: I was in a 5 bed room and One of the beds was just in front of the windows...the Girl laying there didn't want to Open it...I nearly died! Maybe there should be one bed less sometimes
