At the hostel, the rooms are equipped with a wardrobe. All rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box, while some rooms come with a balcony and others also have garden views. Everything was very good. Sometimes young people make a lot of noise. I find this normal. The staff is very good and if you have a problem they try to solve it.

Featuring a sun terrace, this property is set near attractions such as Main Beach. The hostel features an outdoor swimming pool and a shared kitchen and free WiFi. I stayed here for three weeks. First of all the staff is really lovely especially Paco a very nice guy who helped me extend my stay and made an effort to get me the same room I wanted. Apart from that, the place is clean and cozy, pleasant and efficient reception. The kitchen is equipped with everything I needed to a very high standard including a place to store my food in the fridge and on the shelves, I could cook my own meals and not spend money outside. The cleanliness is very good, the kitchen, toilets and showers are cleaned every day, it is pleasant and inviting. The place really served as my home for three weeks. There are also interesting activities every day that the hostel provides, including salsa lessons and barbecues with free beer. The bed was in a room of 8 women, and I still had my privacy including a personal drawer for my things, lighting and an electrical outlet. There is also a lobby downstairs and upstairs, with a TV and games, a great place to meet people from all over the world. In short 10/10 Lots of love from Israel:) Many thanks to all the staff 🩵🇮🇱
