This was by far the best hostel I have stayed at. Staff was amazing and we had a baby and they were able to get us a high chair for our stay. Will definitely be staying there on my next visit

We really enjoyed the Rock Hostel. Our room was big and super clean and had a private bathroom. Internet worked great. The breakfast was amazing. We didn't use the pool but it looked fantastic as well. Definitely more of a hotel feel than a hostel. Highly recommend this place.

Very clean and modern facilities, excellent rooms in terms of comfort and amount of space. We did have trouble with our booking, but on arrival the staff was very helpful in sorting it out. The breakfast in the morning was very nice, and the pool out back was great, even in the cooler weather! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing stay! The staff was incredibly friendly, the WhatsApp communication was very fast. When we were trying to book a taxi to the airport they were very helpful! The room was extremely clean and the bedding was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. I could not recommend this hostel more!!!

Deze accommodatie is schoon en rustig. Elke ochtend ataat een eenvoudig maar vers ontbijt klaar. Onze kamer was ruim, met een klein bslkon. Klein nadeel... het hotel ligt in lijn met de start- en landingsbaan van het vliegveld. Op bepaalde tijden vliegen de vliegtuigen heel laag over. De kamer is goed geïsoleerd dus we werden er niet wakker van. De airco maakte wel verl lawaai.

Bonne variété pour un petit déjeuner continental. Communication simple. Facile d’accès avec le code à l’entrée. Nous avons aussi apprécié qu’ils nous laissent profiter de la piscine en attendant notre vol. La personne sur plus a réservé un taxi pour nous vers l’aéroport. Merci !
