Reviews
"The hotel is clean, a boy got into the room today and Sunday with a key and said a word, do you soften,I thought it was a delivery of towels, so I subconsciously waved my hand,why? Did I hear wrong? The hotel is very clean,Before, A yellow guy in a suit and a white guy come in, say sorry and leave"
"Just don't come here. Since the first moment I came, there were never-ending issues. No reception or check-in after 5 PM basically (god forbid you come after 11 PM, then you are welcome to sleep on the street even if you already booked a room). The elevator doesn't work, front door intercom, no heating or cooling or stable WIFI. The "Breakfast" is literally loaf of bread with some butter and dry cereal. Dust and mess everywhere, and very very poor customer service. Have been in many places and hostels around the world, and probably one of the top 3 worst places I've ever stayed in. Yes, location is great, but doesn't worth the toll."
"If i summarize, i would say, the best location, small rooms with beautiful views, and welcoming staff. However, there was some sort of false smell in the corridor, and my room was at the end, so that wasn't the pleasant experience at all. But otherwise, it's a nice place to stay"
"If you're looking for a good night's sleep, I would not recommend this hostel. Unfortunately, the hostel is quite run down and in dire need of maintenance. The ceiling has mold, rust and cockroaches are commonplace, and the air in the rooms can feel stale. To make matters worse, the other guests often have loud parties until at least 1am, making it difficult to get any rest. Additionally, the mattresses are quite thin, which doesn't help matters. The dorm rooms can also be quite messy, with personal items left all over, including used underwear and empty bottles. However, there are a few positive aspects to this hostel. For one, the location is great, as it's right next to the beach and there are several restaurants in the area. Furthermore, the staff is generally quite helpful. It's a shame that the owners of this hostel don't seem to prioritize basic hygiene and upkeep. If they were more strict with the guests, checking on the cleanliness of the dorms regularly and enforcing quieter party times, and made some renovations, this could be a great budget accommodation option. As it stands, though, I can only give it one star."
"Not even 1 Star deserves this dump, it is the most disgusting hostel I have stayed in a long time! The pictures don't even come close to the reality of this place. It looks like something out of a horror movie. Dirty as hell. Most of the people live there so they think they own the place and for that reason they don't care about making noise until late, leaving the bathroom full of hairs, cooking and washing dishes badly, etc. It is also not a place to socialize, which is one of the reasons to choose a hostel, as I repeat, people live here for the long term, they are not interested in meeting more people than those who already live there. To finish saying that it is very expensive for the garbage it is, we had booked 9 nights and we had to leave early because it was even being bitten by bed bugs! Disgusting place, zero% recommended"
