The location is the best for surf lovers, the staff is so kind and friendly, and you can rent a surfboard for a reasonable price there!

Fadel Morocco

Lovely staff, very relaxed atmosphere, great location, nightly silence well respected, clean, free drinking water, good wifi. I had a great time, muchas gracias!!!

The owner of the hostel is extremely friendly and supportive. When I checked in, a lady said that there's no locker in the room free for me, though it's weird because there's 4 beds and 4 lockers so I'm supposed to have a locker. But when I told the owner about that, he organized the locker area and gave me one. Also the light in the bathroom has problem, I reported to him and he showed me another bathroom and fixed the broken one immediately.
