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

Not a good experience but clean hostel

6/10 When I arrived, I realised that there is no bell, I had not received any instructions how can I enter the hostel and they were giving just a telephone number to contact. That’s it! Unfortunatelly I did not have roaming so basically I was lucky to ask the help of a local to call the hostel. Instead of just open me and somehow easily give me the key, (through the telephone of the stranger that agreed to help me) they started explaining me that I should have received the messages and making it more complicated to finally take the key. If when I arrive a hostel after a long trip you make my life difficult, then I guess you understand this is a bad beginning. But waiting half an hour outside the hostel trying somehow to find a way to enter was not OK… Apart from that, the hostel was quite clean but it was not a pleasant experience. Also at the end of my stay when I informed them about that (no instructions received so I could be able to enter etc etc), their answer was that with this agency (expedia group) they have maybe this problem and somehow like it is fault of the agency… come on guys, this is not a good customer service

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

Super Hostel

Das Hostel ist Sehr zentral gelegen. 15 min Fußweg zum Strand, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden, so wie Restaurants im Umkreis. Ebenso sind Bushaltestellen und Taxis unmittelbar erreichbar. 20€ von dort aus mit dem Taxi zum Flughafen. Das Hostel wird jeden Tag gereinigt, es gibt einen WhatsApp Service der sehr gut funktioniert und die Räume sind klimatisiert.

A very quiet hostel. Not much happening, exactly what I needed. Facilities are clean. There is a nice spacious lounge and kitchen. I slept in a mixed 12 person dorm, occupied by I think 9. The bunks give a good feeling of privacy with curtains, a shelve, a light and a socket. Although I do not understand why de curtains were half side dark an the other white. I mean you can see shadows through the cream ones and not through the dark ones, so...? By sleeping in a mixed dorm, as a woman, I remembered why I use to prefer sleeping in a women´s dorm. Men do snor! The hostel is very close to everything. Even a express supermarkt very nearby, which made it easy to buy water and a snack. Although the hostel was very clean, you hardly see any staff. Whick wasn´t necessary for me, but in case you have questions.. well, then still they are easy to stay in touch with by whatsapp. A very pleasant stay for only €20,00 a night (in the hostel itself, booking by Expedia €17,00)

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.
