Good atmosphere, friendly staff, perfect location close to the beach and supermarket. Good place to meet new people. I have been here for a month so I definitely recommend it!nI can't give 5 stars because if you have an important call and need a quiet place, there is no chance, this is the only thing.
I stayed here long term several years back and had a great time as it was ran to be a open welcoming environment. These days it seems the manager Brian can barely be arsed, his general demeanour is that you're getting in the way of him being able to chill out or hang with the abundant French community that seems to have taken over the place. Honestly if I was the owner, I'd be very concerned as to what I'm actually paying the lazy and rude fella for. Such a shame, used to have such a nice vibe, seems to have had a slight physical uplift but lost its soul.
“Had an amazing stay! The hostel was clean, the staff super friendly, and the atmosphere perfect for meeting new people. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great experience!”
Would leave a 0 star review if I could. If you're not staying long-term, absolutely do not stay here.nnFirstly, a MOUSE ran over my arm while sleeping...I was on the top bunk. Disgusting. And that same night, the smoke alarms in the whole building went off intermittently for an hour starting at 4 am...there was no fire or anything.nnAs others have said, the building/rooms/facilities do not look like the pictures. They are run down, covered in people's junk, and very unclean. The rooms/bathrooms/kitchen were not cleaned the whole time I was there, and people do not clean up after themselves. They also party in the parking lot out front of all the rooms till early in the morning, there is no quiet time.nnAlso, I was not given a blanket with a duvet cover on it and the pillow had no filling. When I mentioned these things to the manager, it took TWO DAYS to get a pillow. I slept on my clothes for two nights because when I got back to the hotel around 5 PM a reasonable time, the reception was already closed.
For party people, good.nFor people who wanna stay and sleep quietly, definitely NOT.nnSUPER NOISY.nnIt's ok that chatting, making noise and blasting music in the common area.nThe problem is, every noise and voice can be heard in the room.nJust like sleeping in a bathroom in club house.nnRoom is not bad en-suite, 4 females roomnBut there were so many rubbish with no idea since when and who left them: a big strange bag, water bottles, snacks, some empty boxes etc.nAlso, sometimes they don't refill toiletpaper, so we needed to get some spare from the common toilet.nYou'll see cockroach families every night.nnKitchen is very nice, quite clean, big space and lots of sharing dishes.nThere are some big dining tables, so everytime you eat you can share that tables and have a chat with other people .nThere's mostly no chance to find a space to eat or work on laptop privately, so when I wanted to eat alone, I went to the beach.nn2 each of laundry machines and dryers for $6 each.nPlenty of space to hang out laundries outside.nnThe reception rarely works as reception, I wanted to enquirer about the length of my stay, but it was not easy to contact him, no answer on the phone and through GOKI chat either.nBut i appreciate that he seems always warn those who are still making stupid noise around 11:00pm to get back their rooms.
