Great location with the beach a few minutes walk away, a little shop in the campsite down the road and the hotel for a few pints.
Great location everything I wanted to do was walkable. Staff are extremely friendly and approachable and also very helpful. The free hostel breakfast is definitely one of the best hostel breakfasts I’ve ever encountered. It’s also a very social hostel with activities on most nights that are easy to access and super fun, as a solo traveller this was awesome! The rooms are spacious with secure crates to keep your stuff + privacy curtains were appreciated. Bathrooms are clean and numerous.
Great location, lovely and clean, beds were comfy, the check in staff were very welcoming, would highly recommend this hostel. I travelled on my own and felt very safe
Extremely friendly staff. The hostel provided clean towels, soap and shampoo. There was also a kitchen for us to use. Great atmosphere and really nice rooms. Overall, the best hostel I've stayed in so far. Great location. Would highly recommend.
Great location, super friendly staff, probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at
