I arrived a day earlier than expected and found this hostel with availability. The sleeping pod had privacy shades, changing outlet, wifi, and the other people occupying the room were extremely quiet. I slept well and everything went well. There is a communal kitchen, seating/work area, and a rec. room. Good value, well run and clean.

It's the best hostel ever: most central location with greatest views, super clean and bright rooms, individual bathroom and shower, cozy and extra comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast is just brilliant!

this was the most absolute perfect location, I don’t think you can get more central than this. the rooms were very clean and neat.

Ximena China

Very nice staff. The location is just in the heart of the old town, 4 mins to the airport bus stop. Super clean. Lockers are available during stay & after checkout.

Incredible value for the location. Next to major points of interest. Surrounded by an abundance of restaurants. Adriatic Sea is literally steps away from hostel. Amazing professional staff!!!
