This place has it all from start to finish! The online service, booking, customer care and assistance, attention to detail. I am so very impressed and will recommend to everyone So well laid out and organized. Love the thoughtful touches if a honesty pantry stacked with everything a cyclist or walker would need. Loved the sensor lights and key box as I arrived much later than expected due to a flat tyre. Then found they had all I needed to get my bike ready for the next day. The attention to detail adds to the comfort and charm of this place. Don't think about it anymore, just book it 😁

I was very happy at Blue Room Hostel, I stayed one night in the 10 bed women's dorm. The bed was very comfy, everything was clean, had a lovely hot shower in the en-suite bathroom. There's a lovely and spacious common area with sofas, tables, chairs, books, a microwave, a fridge... On a rainy day this would be great. Also a TV room that looked very comfy. You can also sit outside the front of the house and enjoy the morning sun. :)) The owner, Lee, is super nice and involved, and takes care of things himself, which gives the hostel a friendly and personal atmosphere. Big difference to chain hostels. There's even a breakfast in the morning! Also loved the location, it's in a quiet neighbourhood, so you can sleep well, but in five minutes walk you're at the main street, the bus station, the train station and the beach. Couldn't be better.

We loved our stay. The location is perfect and nature here is stunning. Best youth hostel we’ve ever stayed at. Food was delicious, they had a live band there as well and picnic tables and an oven in our tent. It was a perfect weekend for us.

What an excellent place to stay. Unless you hate hostels of course. Lots of great spaces. Dormitory beds have power and a light each plus a place to put things. Lockable cupboards under the beds. The thoughtful details go on and on. And great staff and a smashing location. I would definitely stay there again. In fact I did.
