Jill Barr

18 August 2009 Jill would recommend this property

Liked: It has a fabulous location right on the sea front, two doors down from a late opening convenience store and just across the road from the beach. The owners are pleasant and friendly in an unobtrusive way, and the kitchen is well equipped. It offers everything you would look for in a hostel and in terms of location and the ambience is second to none. It's the best hostel I've ever stayed at!

Disliked: Jill left no negative feedback.
