Great place to stay!
Great place to stay right on the beach and under five minutes to a Spar and a whisky bar and good restaurant. The managers went above and beyond to make me comfortable get me the information that I needed. Beautiful views from the common rooms and kitchen. Bus stop 2-3min walk. Then only downside was the thin walls. It’s not their fault they had loud guests, but I was in my own room and still needed ear plus with the snoring and talking in the male dorm next door. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place on service and location alone.
