    Lovely big room, very clean with two huge beds just for me. Nicely decorated, tasteful lighting, and large TV. Coffee machine, ac. A huge bathroom with rain shower in a big cubicle. All spotlessly clean. Location is up the hill but there's a lift which goes down one level and then on the way back up you have escalators which made it easy to access the hotel. The seafront and many bars and restaurants are minutes away. Lovely friendly staff.

    The kitchen was very clean and had great crockery allowing me to prepare my meals. The hostel was in an ideal location and felt very safe. The staff were very nice and able to provide recommendations for the area. It was a very nice hostel and all the guests were friendly but definitely a more chill vibe. Definitely not the most social or 'party' hostel but I would definitely recommend for travellers especially people who are walking.
