The friendliest place ever! Seriously, the staff and the overall atmosphere were amazing. The bathrooms and kitchen could use a little extra cleaning, but it wasn't terrible, and the positive aspects far outweighed that minor issue. I would totally stay there again.

Wow! What a Christmas Eve! The rooftop party was lovely. Free food, drinks, and a chance to meet awesome people. The hostel felt more like a home than just a place to stay. Fast wifi was a plus, and the TV room was a great chill spot. Beach bus was easy to catch.

Great budget-friendly option! The location was safe and convenient, and even though my friend's bedsheet needed a quick change (which was handled promptly), the overall experience was positive. The breakfast was a nice surprise, and I loved the social atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I'll remember the comfy living room and the hostel's adorable dog.
