Muy simpáticos todo el personal de recepción. Áreas comunes muy cómodas, piscina, jacuzzi. Bien ubicado y muy limpio! Lo único malo es que no incluye el desayuno porque no tienen esa opción.

So superior to any other hostel in all ways.

The small area dedicated to visitors preparing food was too basic, unhygienic and unsafe.

La piscine et l’emplacement

Le personnel hautain (surtout la fille grande avec sa tresse) et le cylindre vu sur parking avec la climatisation qui sent très mauvais (attention aux claustrophobes !)

"Very Good"

7.0

Het heeft een mooi zwembad en een fijne jacuzzi voor als het minder weer is. Veel zitplekken. Voldoende douches en toiletten. De locatie is goed.

Het heeft geen gezamenlijke keuken. Alleen een koelkast die in ons geval niet schoon was + een wasbak met weinig bestek en servies. Wij hadden last van mieren in onze cilinder en het wordt er snel klam en vochtig. We mochten wel wisselen van cilinder.
