Reviews of Argdivan Beach Hostel

Nice hostel, clean, warm welcome and staff.

Everything was good.

The owner and staff are super friendly and the accommodation was cool and relaxed.

Nothing

I personally liked the location. It is on a very quiet street, and it’s such a small town it really doesn’t matter where you sleep, everything is a 5 min walk away maximum. Perfect budget friendly option. Super nice staff! Kitchen does the trick, and surprisingly the beds in the dorms I found really comfortable, which is always a plus. Nice personal fan too.

My stay at Argdivan was exceptional. The owner, Pablo, as well as all of the volunteers were very welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process. I will definitely be returning someday and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a laid-back hostel in Sámara.

Perfectly located in a very quiet neighbourhood close to the beach, supermarkets and the towncenter. The volunteers and owners do their best to keep the space clean at least twice a day and are very communicative. Very comfortable beds with lights, chargers, curtains and personal fan. I loved it!

Nada

The staff here are very kind and very helpful! Location of the hostel is just a couple minutes walk to the beach and bus station which was very convenient but also not too choose to the street to be loud and unable to sleep. Tap water is potable which was very useful in the heat. Good wifi throughout building. Outdoor areas were also very nice.

I understand that the prices here may be higher because it's so touristy/there's high demand, but I don't think the prices accurately reflect the facilities and cleanliness. Some showers didn't function properly or have hot water and the private room was missing a window screen and it felt uncomfortable sleeping with it wide open but there was no way to get around it because of the heat. The staff were kind in making sure I was comfortable by allowing me to use an additional fan but only after I expressed concerned (the fan also ended up being partially broken and they offered to exchange it but I didn't want to take the working fan out of the common area). The smoking section was also somewhat close to the private room so on my last night I smelled smoke for a couple of hours which was unpleasant as I was trying to sleep. Facilities aside, I found the hostel to lacking in cleanliness. The soap dispenser was only refilled after I asked, the upstairs toilet, shower, and bath mat all looked unclean and stained. The private room wasn't properly cleaned before I checked in as I could see hair and dirt on the floor, trash in the trashcan from the previous guest, and dust on the nightstands. Likely due to the humidity but the towels, sheets, and pillows all had a somewhat sour, moldy smell to them.

Good value for money, super vibes, location is convenient. Comfy beds.

I stayed for two nights. Pablo, the owner, and the other volunteers were super friendly and welcomed me very well. The place has a good vibe and is quiet, about 10 minutes from the beach and supermarkets. Pura vida, guys. I hope to return soon.

The personnel of the hostel were welcoming and helpful throughout all the stay. Nice facilities and place to make friends.

New hostel with good beds and extremely helpful stuff. Special thanks to Pablo and Aron! Good community and vibe amongst travelers and staff.

Great location. Comfortable bed and pillow in private. I booked a dorm but upgraded to the private room.Nice little kitchen and the 2 male volunteer staff were very friendly. Nice outdoor sitting area.

Dorm room was small and beds overlapping by half bed size. Too cramped for me so I upgraded to single room. That room didn't have any hooks, hangers or closet so open luggage has to lay on floor. Shared upstairs bathroom sink and toilet was always dirty and a broken shower. Second day I found the cleaner nicer bathrooms/ shower outside. It would have been nice to be shown this on arrival. The only inside dining table was always occupied by staff with their laptops,etc. so no place to eat but outside. A new place, but lots of broken items in the back yard. Has room for improvement and then this place will be great.

This hostel is filled with the good people and good vibes: beds are really comfortable, own fan/plug/curtains/solid internet...I slept soooo well and woke to a fresh coffee (thank you again for that : ) ...all round a great place to stay.

Happy with all

the common areas were really nice and beautiful, easy to relax in outside the bedroom. the kitchen was good and easy to use. and pablo was very friendly and welcoming, and helped us a lot with information we needed. it’s an ideal place to stay in when you want to relax and be social.

n/a

Very friendly staff, good location, pretty patio.

Room is very small, dark and dirty. Bathroom and kitchen are quite dirty as well. They should clean it more often.

Convenient and cheap

Lot’s of bugs and ants in the kitchen. Although the staff cleaned a lot, it was often dirty. Shouldn’t allow men over 50 in dorms in my opinion…

Clean and really nice helpful volunteers! Comfortable bed and curtains.

2 bathrooms for more than 20 people is a bit to little. Would have been nice with some hammocks and a bit more coziness in the common areas instead of mostly white walls
