It's a hostel that can pack people into a private room. Window was missing glass slat. Nosound insulation, so noisy until 11 PM. AC made squeaky noise. Plumbing was loose and you could see sunlight through the edges. Mattresses were old, one was overly firm, one was soft. Common areas, kitchen, and pool were nice. Staff is really friendly and takes pride in the community environment.

El lugar en general estuvo increíble y la mayoría de los empleados fueron muy cálidos excepto por una chica de recepción llamada Beelu. No tiene tacto para dirigirse a los huéspedes, nos arrebató las cervezas diciendo que ya nos habían indicado que no se podía tomar en la alberca cuando minutos antes se preguntó y nos dijeron que si se podía. Al cobrarnos al final de todo lo que habíamos consumido en el hotel fue de una manera muy grosera. Creo que para todo hay maneras de decir las cosas

Bien mais ne convient pas à tout le monde

Endroit sympathique avec une bonne ambiance. Proche des restaurants, bars et supermarché. Parties communes agréables avec cuisine collective et piscine. Néanmoins, chambre avec énorme vis à vis (en face du matériel de surf), lit en très mauvais état (pieds cassés et grincements au moindre mouvement). Il y avait des cheveux dans la douche quand nous avons récupéré la chambre et l’eau de la douche était froide. Musique jusqu’à minuit donc pas idéale pour dormir 😉

Excellent staff! Very friendly and accommodating. Such a happy, and inclusive community vibe. Extremely affordable, and convenient. I wish I’d booked here from the beginning. Don’t think about booking one night just to be sure you like it, with thoughts of extending your stay. It’s unlikely they’ll have availability. Jump right in if you’re looking for an affordable, friendly, no fuss stay, with parking, and everything within walking distance. I will definitely stay here again.
