Liked: Very clean and tidy, great to have an ensuite in dorm room. Not the easiest place to meet other travellers, but good location and facilities. I stayed in February, in busier summer times this would be awesome.

Customer review

23 January 2010

Liked: I would not recommend this hostel for three reasons: 1) noise - the street noise is unbearable; even with earplugs, I couldn't get to sleep until about 4am, when the local revellers went home. It sounded like the hostel was on top of a night club or something. 2) cleanliness - the bed was covered with other people's hairs. Disgusting. 3) stinginess - the shower was on an auto-timer and the button needed to be repressed every 5 seconds or so or the water would stop. The water was fixed at a lukewarm temperature. The room was freezing with no heating available - just a blanket. Internet is not free but is charged by the half hour. Wireless (which was supposed to be free) did not work because the supplied password was incorrect. Towels were something ridiculous like 5 euros. Beds were uncomfortable, noisy and smelly. Overall, the worst night's 'sleep' I've ever had in a hostel.

Liked: Breakfast wasn't as bad as reviewed, muffins, toast, oj, coffee, tea, butter/jam. Standard stuff. Very dead when I wasthere, could be fun with more people. Clean, spacious, but nothing too special. Would reccommend to friends. Nice staff.

03 October 2009 brett would recommend this property

Liked: Is really well located right in the cenre of the old town close to the bars and clubs and a 2 minute walk to the sea and the rest of the city and the airport bus and has a really nice atmosphere and interesting design, with high ceilings, old tiles and polished concrete floors and cages for locking gear in, the ensuite bathrooms are really handy too though the shower in my rooms was a bit dribbly. There was a party happening downstairs on the friday night I stayed so noise was a bit of a problem as it driffed up via the central courtyard, the room was a bit stuffy too as there is no aircon or other ventilation, but opening the window just made the noise situation worse - though it did quieten down after 1am - but this was annoying as I wasnt in the mood to party and tried to get my head down before an early flight the next morning - this was a great hostel and a lovely city apart from this - just don't stay weekends or if you do pack some earplugs!
