    Clean, cozy and super friendly staff. The beds are really comfortable with curtains for privacy. The hangout spot is share with cafe downstairs which is provided delicious breakfast and coffee. Location is great, near the main pier and quiet at night. Highly recommend for solo and group travelers alike!

    Street can get a little noisy but rooms were great once inside the pods

    Loved how close it was to the pier and all of the beds were super comfortable

    The toilet/ shower cubicles smelt quite bad. It’s not particularly nice to walk over a wet shower cubicle with bare feet to get to the toilet, which often was covered in soap and water. There is also no common area and no food aloud in the dorms, so you couldn’t buy and eat food that wasn’t from their cafe.

    Good food in the cafe downstairs. You had big lockers which was amazing for our bags and privacy. The aircon was amazing too! It’s only a 25 minute walk to all the main party areas and super close to the dock. Beaches nearby were all lovely and clean.

    The only thing which should be considered before booking is that toilets are also coeducational. Just keep it in mind.

    Central location, comfortable rooms and storage and amazing cafe downstairs.

    Cafe is a little expensive. Showers are in the same room as the toilet which felt a bit unhygienic.

    Very clean and nice atmosphere and very central location right next to the pier. Great cafe for working in and friendly staff

    I wish there was more than water available for guests (eg. instant coffee, bananas). The staff checking me in was quite unpleasant and told me I would have to pay if blood got on my sheets- I don’t think this is standard or normal.

    Very clean, quiet hostel. I enjoyed the café downstairs, you can always grab a coffee on the way. Some staff is a little bit awkward but it doesn’t affect your stay. They also give you a towel which was nice.

    Only stopped here one night but found the place to be ok. It did feel abit like they'd crammed as much in as possible. No common area and had to eat or drink only stuff from their cafe. Dorms were comfy if cramped with very thin divides between the beds but I did sleep fine. Bathrooms were good. Great location only a few minutes walk to the beach with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. It's s a working beach/harbour so prob best as I did hire a bike as only costs around £5 and better beaches 20-30mins away.

    The bathrooms were mixed, but other than that the rest was great!

    The location was great, it was by the pier, there are a few shops and restaurants around, is very close to the beach too. The beds were super comfy, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, the food at the hostel’s bistro was great, freshly made. I also liked that a towel and the bed linen were included. The AC in the bedroom was fantastic! I also liked that the the bathroom was apart from the bedroom, it is great so you don’t disturb your roommates. The staff was super friendly and helpful too!

    The main thing would be the plumbing in the bathroom, meaning that you can often smell a bit of sewage in the showers. Fair warning, when you close the curtains in your room, it is its own microclimate.

    I had a great time at this hostel to the point that I extended multiple times, ideal for a good place to be, nice and social but not a party hostel.
