The hostel is super clean and looked after, but is definitely a quiet hostel, wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking to go party and meet people etc. Other than that the staff were super kind and friendly and each bed has its own plug next to it

Overall great stay, bed was comfortable and bathrooms very clean. Water didn’t get very hot and kept having to turn it back on which was kind of annoying. But good quality for the price, convenient location. Would stay again

Very clean hostel in a great location

Great location in town near the mercato, bus stop to airport is only few minutes walk away. From here you can easily walk to the old town, castle one the hill, beach, shopping streets etc. The place is very clean, with privacy curtains for every bed

Steps from Mercado, modern quiet dorms

Great location to base your exploration. Quiet, comfortable, secure. Cleaned very frequently. The common area was nice but not very social during my stay. The kitchen isn't equipped to do anything besides microwave your food. Good wifi. The bunks offer privacy and lockers are large enough for your stuff. Would stay again.

Pro: a clean hostel with pretty much privacyin a quiet area. I slept very well every night and I would definetely go back there. Against: Not that much to mention. Maybe the fact that the kitchen does not have a hob to prepare food for who is interested. But otherwise you can have free tea/cofee.

He estado en muchos hostales, y a pesar de que los baños son mixtos ( cosa que no me gusta ), puedo mencionar que he estado comodisimo al momento de usarlos. Volvería sin duda al mismo lugar, muy limpio, organizado, seguro y con muy buena ubicación.
