Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view had scaffholding all around the property and they still charged us full price, there was no mattress it was just a thin foam pad that did NOT protect us from bed frame. The hostel is located center to the club scene and the windows are not sound proofed so you can hear all tye noise. Also to mention the walls are extremely thin so we could hear people talking and moving in their own accommodations which was a problem in the early hours of the morning. If you are to stay you do need to bring your own items, they provided the bare minimum no kettle no chairs.

Good Hostel

Nice hostel, right in front of the pier, even if the building is a bit old. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a nice bar. Bedroom and bathroom were of a good size but the TV was useless because placed behind the bed and there was no shower, only bath.

Great affordable option

Really welcoming receptionist, our private room was a very decent size and even had a sea view which was brilliant for the affordable price! Our en suite only had a bath and no shower which is really the only negative I can think of (and to some this could be a positive)
