It's close to the supermarket, cinema, information centre, beach, airport and restaurants (30 min walk). The people working here are really nice and helpful. It has all the facilities you need. A kitchen, hammocks, pool, cinema room, Wi-Fi, fridge in your room or in the kitchen, clean bathrooms and so on

Great hostel with pool and pool table, all night kitchen area and not far from the city. Had a single room it was comfortable and clean. The wee fridge was in need of replacement but certainly did the trick! Cinema room is amazing and there is also a balcony area for dining and chilling out
