Nice atmosphere and good location

Nice hostel with spacious private (hotel) rooms at the top floor. I had stayed at the hostel before but tried the hotel rooms for the first time. The room was comfortable and clean and with excellent views over the city and the sea. Very good and friendly service from all the staff.

Location is convenient. Right in front of bus stop #10. Rooms are spacious and well equipped with amenities. Breakfast provided is good. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Definitely a good choice!

Excellent location - easy walking distance for exploring the city centre and with many bars/restaurants nearby including a 24 hour supermarket across the street. Bus stop conveniently located outside the hotel for airport and excursion drop off/pick up. Spacious, comfy and quiet room. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely touch leaving a bottle prosecco and chocoate in my room on New Year's Eve thank you :) Would definitely stay here again

Perfect location and really nice staff. I thought the dorm rooms got a little warm, but this is likely because guest might of turned up the radiator/ heater. In the community kitchen fridge space was hard to find. Maybe a bigger fridge or a better system to toss out old stuff that guest might have left behind.
