Nice hostel, has a pool and cafe which is cool, my WiFi didn’t work. And with one fan in the room it made it super hard to sleep, but staff were nice.

The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The area was often unclean. There are people walking in and out of the room throughout the evening; it was extremely hard to sleep well. The bathroom and shower area has a lot of grime; evidently have not been cleaned in a long time.

Solo stay

In overall I was happy with my stay. It's close to the beach, shops etc. I haven't given 5 stars just because where I was staying it was super noisy. I had a room on my own facing towards the cafe/reception area so it felt like I was hearing everything. Also the walkway outside my window had a sensor light on which was a bit uncomfortable when it was going on and off quite a bit. I was able to leave my bag for a bit after checking out which was super handy. There are upkeep works going which is great to see. No need to pay for a shuttle, the public transport works great. Look it up ;-)

Two words: BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! This property is well aware they have bed bugs yet do nothing to fix the problem. I woke up at 4am with acute itching (then could no longer sleep!) 48hours later I am still itching, with large red inflamed patches all over my body which will leave scars and a hugely swollen finger that is weeping at the bite mark and likely infected, meaning I am limited in the use of my hand and may have to see a doctor. Avoid this place if you value your health and safety. They also are offering a 'competition' incentive if you leave them a review, therefore I would not trust any favourable reviews.
