Don't stay here, at least not if you want to sleep at night. When I read the comments about the noise I hoped it wouldn't be that bad, but it was worse. You can even feel the vibrations in bed from the music of the bar below (and hear the music from several other bars around) and it doesn't stop until 2 a.m. every night.The quality of the hostel is very poor and not comparable to any European hostel. People which gave this hostel a 5 have probably only experienced US hostels before... Everything is very old, dirty carpets on the floor, color coming from the doors, weird smell in the rooms, dirty kitchen etc.For me this is the the worst hostel I ever stayed in.Only positive thing is the location right next to the beach.

1. This isn't to the quality of a European hostel, very messy and a lot of things out of order including the Wifi when we visited and one of the only two toilets on the ground floor.2. Only contains two showers for a sizable hostel, poor.3. When we were there, most of the people staying there were staff members which was weird and they just sit in corners and stare.4. I read the comments about noise and thought it wouldn't be that bad. It was much worse. The bed we were sleeping on vibrated until 2am from the bar below and it's live music. It was awful and when the music finally stopped I could hear the conversations in the next room word for word.

The best hostel experience I have had. Clean, considerate workers and NO drinking/ drugs. 2 minutes walk to beach and the bar scene is the best. *Note: bring 100$ deposit or a credit card for them to hold prior to check-in*

If you think sleep is overrated, this hostel is for you. We specifically requested a room on the top floor to avoid the noise but upon arrival they told us they had no rooms left on that floor. This hostel is located directly above the bars and the bass is so loud the beds vibrate. They clearly needed to cut costs because the sheets, towels and toilet paper are so cheap they break in your hands.

Rooms and bathrooms were clean and well maintained but the beds and some of the shower stalls could use a bit more privacy like curtains. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is great as the hostel is located close to the beach and many bars. One downside of this is that it can be very noisy until late in the evening. The hostel did provide free earplugs to compensate for this.
