What people say

Location was perfect! Really nice spot, just a little bit away from the main hwy, but walk distance to the beach. And just next to Bus/Trancit Station (Greyhound). POOOL is perfect! Stuff was really nice and excellent premises to hang out and meet other people. 4-bed dorm was spacious enough and good there were lockers to everyone, plus the fan!. Location was PERFECT! - Close to everything, Nightlife, beaches and the city and also the bustop! Cost was almost a quarter of the cheapest hotel Awesome and intimate bar for those drinks before you head out for a night of clubbing.
all reviews » Staff were helpful and organized great nights out on the weekend we were there, thank you ). Room was clean and comfortable and we had a nice clean bathroom close to our room. Was very good staying there thank you ). Amazing location Very friendly staff: Highlight! They came up with great offers : Especially the one for a sky dive. We took it and loved it. Clean and colorful place. Cheap beer on the venue!. Great hostel, great facilities, would recommend to others, the $10 night club deal was fantastic, and locations was perfect. Room was basic but had everything we needed. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Open courtyard in the middle. Cool for summer months but not cold in winter. The staff were lovely, rooms were nice, great atmosphere. Atmosphere, friendly staff, location. table tennis clean room. Location and price!. We got a private room for two with shared bathroom. The room was a good size. Bathroom shared with 1 other room (2 doors going into it -1 from each room). Was as you'd expect for a back packers. Not spotless, but passable. the location is good. Very well located, not far from bus station, city center and the beach. The hostel propose some facilities like a big kitchen, a pool, big screen, it is a nice place to meet people. The location was good, close to the main beach. They have a pool and a bar. You can not bring your own drinks to the hostel, and that is a BIG minus. Since it is for backpackers, the alcohol in the bar was way too expensive for making up that rule. Too many signs (rules) EVERYWHERE. So in the end you don't read ANY of them. Would be great to highlight just few main rules instead having wallpapers all around about the rules.. A bit run-down bathrooms Water pressure for shower was kinda bad The rooms are not really soundproof, can awaken with the slightest noise outside. The city overall wasn't very gay-friendly. Toilet & shower were in the same room so if someone was in the shower, you couldn't go to the toilet. The bed was comfortable but very squeaky. Worst thing was the noise- mainly wooden floors so noise really carries. We stayed there on a Saturday night so may be quieter other nights, but being a fairly light sleeper, I couldn't sleep even with ear plugs in until after 4am. Floor was also quite dirty- wouldn't walk around without shoes on. Have stayed in nicer backpackers for less. kitchen too small to eat outside. I hated the bed, very painfull for the back. I was also cold, I had no blanket. The room was very durty and noisy but mainly because of the people occupying the room who did not care about others. Internet is very expensive. It would have been better to share a room with a group of friends. I was on my own and sharing a room with strangers was not a good idea. The room wasn't clean, the bar is very noisy during the night and the kitchen is very very small for so much people (and close at 9:00 pm). They did not have a record of my booking and seemed surprised when I showed up at the place. which was annoying as I had booked almost 2months in advance. They blamed it on bookings.com for the misunderstanding.
