Un très bel hôtel! Tout les lieux sont propres, les lits confortables, une grande cuisine avec lave-vaisselle, possibilité de faire du lavage ( séchage) pour 5 euros. Le staff est très gentils et les voyageurs respectueux. Je recommande fortement cet endroit :)

If you’re looking to meet great people and stay in a super welcoming environment, book here!!! We absolutely loved it. Met lots of great people, spent lots of time hanging out in the courtyard of the hostel and the 1 min walk to the beach and to Pipa (great restaurant) were highlights for sure :)

Das Hostel ist an sich schön eingerichtet und hat sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Leider ist das Haus sehr hellhörig, so dass man jedes Geräusch (z.B. Knallen der Türen, feiernde Hotelgäste etc.) in der Nacht mithören konnte. Die Matratzen in unseren Zimmer waren leider auch zu hart gewesen.

Staff accueillant mais chambre privée décevante

Super accueil et super ambiance au sein de l’établissement. Staff souriant et serviable. En revanche la chambre double privée que nous avons réservé ne vaut pas le prix. Très bruyant (aucune insonorisation, nous entendions les autres clients parler au rez de chaussée et dans la cour), aucun équipement de base (comme une lampe de chevet par exemple), une douche qui fuit. Comparé à d’autres établissements fréquentés au même prix pendant notre séjour cette chambre fut une réelle déception. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement surtout si vous marchez toute la journée et je vous voulez dormir tôt le soir.
