The hostel is about 15 minutes of walking distance from the beach. First time I had the pleasure to stay at such a new hostel where rooms are equipped with air-con, comfortable beds, good size lockers and electric window blinds. There are many bathrooms and showers so I never had to wait in a queue to have a shower. There is a living room where you can relax and talk to others. I like the open plan with check-in desk with a dining area and the kitchen, however I found it a bit too crowdy at times and I had to wait to take my food out from the fridge.

Read moreThis hostel a really nice place to stay in. It is a 15 minutes walk to the centre so make sure you don't mind walking if you decide to stay here. The hostel itself has everything you need. A kitchen, good showers, free cereals and free coffee. Everything is really clean and the person working is really friendly and in for a talk. During the time I stayed there I even made some friends. The common room has a TV and a Wii, but I couldn't find any games for it though. The rooms have AC that do not blow on top of anyone. You have your own locker and a small pouch where you can put some stuff in before you go to sleep. Overall everything is great and I had a...
