The location is excellent, close to everything, with beautiful surroundings that make it an ideal base for exploring the area. Everything was perfectly clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. There’s also a nice common area with sofa to relax after a long day. I would highly recommend this place!

Ottima posizione
- Joanna Vadenbring (10/5): Lovely hostel with excellent facilities - This hostel is situated right on the seafront and you've got a spectacular view from most dorms and the common room. The hostel itself has comfy and clean beds, very nice toilets and shower rooms and a decent kitchen. It's close to the ferries and buses but also to the river and hills.
Very friendly staff. I'd been hoping to wash my stuff but the tumble dryer was broken.

- R (10/5): A superbly maintained hostel on seafront SUPER STAFF - Exceptionally well maintained and cleaned hostel right on the sea front. The staff were superb and could not be more helpful. A well equipped kitchen meant that any meal one desired to cook was perfectly feasible and agin the kitchen was kept scrupulously clean by an enthusiastic staff. Comfortable areas to relax and overall a great hostel. Salt in the kitchen as one of those things you tend to forget when travelling....everything else was available in abundance

- Victoria (10/5): Comodidad a buen precio en el malecón. - Todo estuvo muy bien, el personal muy amable, los ambientes y baño muy limpios, la ubicación del Hostal perfecta. La única sugerencia que tengo es poner ganchos para colgar la ropa y bolsos. Había dos ganchos en la puerta, pero no eran suficientes. Muchas gracias.
- Ellen (10/5): Friendly personnel! - Very friendly personnel who are happy to make a chat and give great recommendations. We went to a bar closeby.

- Jan (9/5): - Great location It was very noisy at night but that was because of inconsiderate members.
It needed another bedside light
- Kristi (10/5): The best hostel ever! - Spotless, spacious hostel with super friendly, helpful staff. Calum was especially kind. Large kitchen with all amenities. Lots of cubbies to store your food supplies. Quick walk to Tesco. Highly recommend this hostel! I liked everything.

- Stephanie (9/5): - Seit langem mal wieder in einer Jugendherberge. Ich war sehr begeistert!
- Pavel (9/5): - Almost everything was perfect. The best hostel I have ever been in. Beds could be bigger.
- Susan (10/5): -
- Manon (9/5): -
- Lesley (10/5): Excellent facilities and staff. Would highly recommend! - Room was a good size for number of bunks. Ladies toilet was a good size, warm and modern with hot water. Great kitchen facilities, drying room, dining and lounge area. Smooth check in by Aga. Fiona the manager was greatly accommodating by allowing the use of the facilities due to high winds and rain on morning of checkout. Travelling by motorbike it would have been unsafe so much appreciated. Even though there was an 4 gang extension socket, for a 6 bed room I feel this was not sufficient (I personally have 4 electronic devices to charge) so could be doing with more

- Katarina (9/5): Prijetno s super razgledom - Lokacija ob morju poleg promenade, odlično za večerni sprehod. Ustrežljivo osebje, ki vse lepo razloži in odgovori na vsa vprašanja, ter predlaga tudi dobre lokacije za večerjo. Prijeten lounge od vhodu, knjige na voljo (to sem res izkoristila), tudi skupni prostori in jedilnica so čisti in prijetni.
- Nicky (10/5): Excellent value, great facilities, friendly welcome and a great location! - Location is amazing, staff friendly and helpful, very clean throughout and rooms and beds comfortable, great facilities in the communal kitchen. Corridor doors bang and some guests not very considerate in opening/closing them quietly during the night and early morning!
