Es Ist ein Hostel in perfekter Lage. Für mich zu laut, Zimmer lag über der Bar, alles war extrem hellhörig. Zimmer werden zwischendurch nicht gereinigt.

Lähellä rantaa

Lähellä rantaa + hieno näkymä parvekkeelta merelle. Ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Hyvä sänky. Allergisille tiedoksi, että tässä hostellissa asuu ihana pieni kissa -> kaikki julkiset tilat allergisoi, huone oli onneksi ok.

okeish

The room was cold, as the balcony door was getting the wind inside. The bar had only: beer, vodka and jaggermeister and it closed down at 22:00. WiFi only accessible in the main lobby and very slow. Very friendly staff, good location if you come for surfing.

African soul surfer

Smutsigt och nedgånget backpackers. Slitet rum med obekväm säng och halvrena lakan. Gemensamt badrum som aldrig städades och golvet var översvämmat. Läget är bra dock!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Vi uppfattade inte vid bokningen att det var ett hostel med endast delade badrum. I beskrivningen står det delvis öppet badrum som är helt missvisande, tycker att det tydligt ska stå att det är delade badrum.
