    Highly restrictive policicies. Poor hygienic conditions. Rude staff. Very very poor communication. No active kitchen. Disappointing. Possibly exposed to Covid there. Rough conditions

    Pleasant bed and checkin

    Lack of signage...for example DO NOT BOIL MIK IN THE KETTLE (Or any other food) there is a microwave for that purpose or an induction pan for the induction hob. The house rules should be in different languages and more visible to the hostelers ie, about leaving your shoes outside or on the balcony . Customers should be made more aware of the house rules upon arrival, so no excuse for breaking them.

    I liked the staff who were friendly and very helpful. The other hostelers were also friendly and considerate of others ( but you always get one :/ )the location for the beach and city was excellent. I loved hanging out in the kitchen after a beach trip and made it my own for my 10 day stay, keeping it clean as did the others, but...you always get one who doesn't. The showers and toilet facilities were kept clean by staff and hostelers also kept them clean for others...again, you always get one and he chooses to cough up the contents of his lungs and cough constantly into the sink, leaving it a mess for someone else to clean. Not the hostels fault. There was no breakfast but im guessing that facility was closed because its theend of the season. Never the less, te kitchen was available so that you can cook, eat your own food. It was a great stay for me, I can't complain, it was cheap but it was clean and privacy adhered to.

    There is very little space in the rooms

    The hostel is convenient for its location. Close to the bus station, 10-15 minutes walk, near the old town. There are places to take a walk in the evening. The sea is nearby. If it's for 1-2 nights, it's great for the price.

    The hostel itself is noisy, you can hear how people from other rooms go out and into their rooms. In my 4 ppl room we had very little space to turn around. I had very noisy and smelly neighbours. There is no common space to sit and talk. So my neighbours were sitting in their room, talking and eating..After my polite requests they didn't stop. When hostel is full, bathrooms are nasty and dirty. Dryer for wet clothes is located in another room for 6 ppl, so you have to interrupt other people for your things. For breakfast if something ends, the stuff doesn't put more food. So if omelette and coffee are over, so no more food for you. I wouldn't recommend this place. Find something a little bit more expensive and stay there.

    If you stay alone in a room during unpopular days (autumn, Wed-Thu), it's ok. Stuff is nice. Bed is comfy, clean sheets. But I had another day in room of 4 with super noisy and smelly neighbours - it was a nightmare!

    Earplugs are my strong recommendation to add privacy. The sleeping room temperature was a bit too cold and a variety of odors from other people spread the same room in first night (cant do much about it).

    Close to the beach. Nice kitchen and dining possibilities (pre-ordered fish was good). Staff and other guests were friendly and polite.

    Rooms are definitely too small and noisy. This makes kind of impossible a decent sleep and messy the organization of people belongings. The showers are basically on top of the wc's. The rooms in the basement of the building are very smelly and inappropriate.

    The place is in a good location close to the city center in an area also strategic for parking the car with you've one with you.

    The bathrooms were dank. They close the kitchen between certain hours at night so you can’t use it.

    The position is awesome very close to beach and walking distance to old town. Beds comfortable enough. Breakfast was good but you have to get there on time to have enough food.

    Extremely narrow shared rooms, very difficult to navigate whenever more than one person (or open door or any luggage) was involved. Our room was just behind the shared kitchen area, with a completely open gap in the wall (near the bathrooms) which meant that all the noise, smells and light from the kitchen area were coming through (first impression was the smell of oil) making it quite uncomfortable. We had some bite marks after a few nights (possibly indicating presence of ants and/or bed bugs). We needed to make the beds on our own, we were just handed all the sheets and pillow cases. Failing automatic light in the bathroom.

    Great fresh wholesome breakfast every day, very nice upstairs terrace available constantly (with food and drinks served as well). Great location in general, less than 10 mins walking to the heart of the old town and even less to the seaside boulevard. Nice and friendly staff, always available and happy to help. Staff cleaned the bathrooms every day. AC in the room. Bed - OK mattress with handy light, available power supply and good quality USB outputs. Kitchen & dining area available for all guests.

    The windows of some rooms look right above the main street and night time it's really noisy. To the users - bring earplugs

    Staff was really friendly and comforting their guests.

    My only bad experience was with another traveler which the hostel staff offered to help with and even gave me a free few nights to compensate.

    Great value for money. Friendly staff and good facilities. Everything was as described and I was provided free locks for my locker which was great and fit a cabin-sized suitcase and additional hand luggage inside. The property was easily accessible at all hours. There are a few bathrooms available so there was always one free to use.

    No any room or space to sit comfortably, except the little kitchen, but as I realised they are going to prepare a good roof sitting and more area.

    Beds were comfy, but the ladder up to the top bunk was a little awkward and could use a Exra hand rail on top to help you get in and out. The storage space could do with oil on the hinges and some padding as it’s metal and bangs loudly when people close them. It’s quite tight and not where to hand an any thing in the room. But they are clean and perfectly fine is you just need somewhere to put your head down.

    The toilet and shower were together. Everytime the toilet would be drenched. But otherwise all good. Just whish other travelers respected everyone abit more. They would come in mid night and make a huge racket and wake me and my friend up.

    The beds were in small wooden cabins which enabled more privacy. Staff were lovely.
