Staff was very friendly, the swimming pool was incredible. Our room was very nice, we stayed in a twin room, and we had a sink in it, which was great! The hostel is very close to the beach, walking distance. Also, it is not far away from base hostel, where night life is. The kitchen is amazingly clean and organized.

AustraliaThe property exceeded our expectations. The all complex is simple but very well managed by the owner who is a friendly and helpful. Spotless clean, quiet and with strict rules regarding noise and cleaning which are a positive note for quiet and resting. The room was spotless clean, bed extremely comfortable, excellent Wi-Fi everywhere, air-conditioned. Friendly environment. The owner is super friendly and helped every time I needed. The all spacious is comfortable and you can enjoy the the spacious shared living room and kitchen, very well organized. Shared bathroom was not a problem at all. Spotless clean. Beach is one block away.

IrelandWe had a great time! This is the second time I've come to stay at C-Stay and I hope to return again. It is located in the beautiful area of Picnic Bay. It's a close walk to the bus stop, to the pub and a great Italian restaurant, Mamma Roma's. We even managed to see some local koalas chilling out front. It's great value for money and the owner goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel welcomed.
