My and my friend stayed there for one night and it was fantastic! The staff speak fluently English and they are helpful. The kitchen is spatious with all the utilities you might need to cook - big refrigerator, stove, cutlery and plates... The dorms are nice, spatious, provided with lockers. Only thing: the top bunk doesn't have curtains, but didn't really matter to me (there was dark even in the morning due to the shutters). One thing we really appreciate is having free maps and events printed out on the main pinboard and as well we could use all the facilities and a locker room even after we did the checkout. Big bathrooms that are very clean. Wonderful stay and extremely central position (10min from the center walking, 10min from the station Amara).

The friendly and very helpful staff made sure that my bike was safe at night. They are very well organized in the rooms with a locker and a hook next to the bed, 2 plugs at each bed. The kitchen is amazing, fully equipped with stove and oven and a big table where the guests can easily meet up. it seems to be important that it is tidy and the trash is recycled! The location is great almost next to the center of the old town and also not far from the beach I would go there again

Very nice atmosphere in the hostel, we had a great time with my friends, it is a very clean hostel, the beds have curtains and gives a lot of privacy. It is centrally located so it is close to everything and that makes it very comfortable, they also rent surfboards and are very professional.

Good service from the staff, professional. Super well located, centrally located, close to the bay, the beach and old part so very easy to move around the city and still be close to the accommodation. Agustin helped us very kindly to translate everything we needed. Everything clean as it should be. I would come back.
