Vanessa

I arrived late in the evening and I felt immediately welcome and at home, because the staff at the reception was super nice. The hostel is in the centre, super close to the beach and to everything. It was clean and quiet at night. The kitchen is well equipped and the atmosphere was really nice, I came for 2 nights and ended up staying for 5.

The hostel has spacious rooms with air conditioning, fan and a very clean bathroom. Because it's so warm outside, it doesn't matter that the shower is cold. There is plenty of space in the kitchen, including the fridge. The location is great, just a few minutes walk to the beach. Michelle at the reception is super friendly and communicative, so we quickly felt at home.
