What an incredible find/stay! The view was amazing, and it was such a fun atmosphere!We only stayed for one night on a Monday, but the staff was very friendly and helpful. We paid $20 to park out front, but there were neighborhoods less than a block away where you could park for free. Check in was quick and easy. Beds were clean, fresh sheets and a comforter, two pillows.They have cool daily events, there was a bonfire the night we stayed, and the staff member hosting was really friendly.I wish we stayed for one more night and could have taken advantage of the $25 surf board + wet suit rental.Two of us stayed in a mixed door, and we ended up with a roommate who was very nice! They put someone else in our room in the middle of the night, but they were quiet and respectful, so I didn’t mind. Each of the rooms has lockers for your stuff (bring your own lock), and the bathrooms were clean.For breakfast, they had make your own pancakes/eggs- nothing too crazy, but we enjoyed it! We sat out on the patio with coffee in the morning and played chess. There were quite a few people out there chitchatting and watching the surfers- again, such an awesome vibe!This is a hostel, so keep in mind that there are a lot of younger people on vacation or backpacking, and the vibe is not for everyone. There were a couple interesting characters while we were there, but everyone was respectful and friendly.I recommend checking out more photos and reviews if you are hesitant on whether or not this would be your vibe. We were there during a weekday, so there wasn't anyone that was too rowdy, but I’m sure the weekends are busier.There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, such a great area! Thank you for the great stay!

Awesome few days spent here! I’ll just toss out the pros and cons for anyone who’s interested:PROS: The staff are super polite, very welcoming and helpful. The location is right on the beach, I loved sleeping to the crashing ocean… The price is very fair (although they did attempt to double charge us- so book ahead of time and bring your printed confirmation if using third party) a bus stop and grocery store is nearby as well as some decent food. We loved the Brazilian Coxinha place. Also there’s a very chill cat! And the hostel crew does have events every night, like trivia or BBQ…CONS: The room we were in (4 beds) was very small and the shower was kinda spotty- you’d have to “find the sweet spot” to catch a warm shower. The sink was a bit stopped up and drained slow and our heater didn’t work. You can also hear everyone talking/partying outside of your room so definitely bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.. you’ll have to provide your own lock for the lockers and the kitchen is very very small. Only 1 person can cook at a time which basically means you’re kinda forced to eat out or order out. If you’re not 420 friendly you might not enjoy the constant smell of weed.All in all, we had a great time, the place has a chill vibe and would probably stay again. If you’re young and into partying this is definitely the spot for you- if value decent sleep to wake early or plan on cooking your meals- maybe not so much.

This hostel is pretty good. Location is right on the beach, and they staff is generally very helpful. They run a lot of activities for guests, (I will say these activities usually are going to involve drinking). I imagine the majority of people are expecting to party when coming to PB.I saw some bad reviews about safety, and cleanliness. I'd say generally it's a safe place. They have locks for your belongings. And they do a really great job of keeping things clean. I really appreciated the filtered water, and free coffee!

The Location is fantastic. For the money you simply can't do better. The staff was ok Mike seemed to be the best. He was the one who checked us in first night. The rest of the time I couldn't tell staff from guests. The Breakfast is make your own pancakes which is fine But there was NO COFFEE! Our room was the private queen which has a TV microwave and small fridge and bathroom with a shower. Like I said For the Price this little beach bungalow was best for the location.

After reservation we arrived at the hostel. We could not check in after 1600. At 1900 o clock we checken in but after dropping one beer form the fridge we where asked to leave the place. We would try to clean the place but they asked us to leave immediately. No space for a good conversation! Dropped on the street and were forced to find another place. Very bad service. No room for a conversation. Thanks!

This hostel is awesome! I really liked the staff and atmosphere.We unfortunately needed to leave due to my daughter having a severe allergy. They didn't have to issue a refund, but that is what they're doing. What awesome customer service and kindness. Thank you so much for understanding

This was a great stay. I was in town for a conference and I stayed on the girls dorm. I needed a quiet safe place to sleep and this was. The view from my bed is attached. Because I had to study I could not partake but there was a great party atmosphere and events daily as well as affordable rentals for surfing. It is on the beach so it has a great view and access. Staff and guests are all friendly and make your own eggs or pancakes I the morning was perfect.The building is old and out of date, and not very clean. They are replacing blinds with curtains which will probably help somewhat.

Its very loud at nught, hard to fall asleep. It‘s messy and the Staff look like they would live there and they are very slow.But yiu are right at the beach which is cool!

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*

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.

We stayed in the private room and had very mixed feelings about the place.Location: we loved the location during the day. It was super convenient, and we loved walking all around OB. Unfortunately at night it was so loud it was impossible to sleep. There is no A/C, so you have to leave the windows open. The entire room was shaking from the noise until at least 2am.Cleanliness: the sheets seemed to be freshly laundered but as we were leaving, we found trash from a previous visitor under the bed. The bathroom was decently clean but definitely not the most clean hostel I've ever stayed at.Comfort: this is where we had the biggest problem. The bed was rock hard. I'm not sure if they had other rooms available because they charge $20 to change rooms after check in.Just another thing to be aware of. They have a policy where you can't have anything but water in your room. Not a huge deal, but we do enjoy takeout occasionally after a long day of traveling, so it was a bit annoying.Overall we wouldn't stay there again, but you won't find anything as cheap in the area.
