Pros:

Very good location, nice staff and good value for money!

Cons:

Windows are thin and not very well insulated, the wind was getting in and the room was cold. However, 2 radiators were in the room and worked well to make the room temperature nice and comfy

Pros:

Hostel muy bien situado. Precio aceptable.

Cons:

Estaba en obras lo que empeoró la estancia. Instalaciones viejas y sin aislamiento. Se oía mucho ruído por la noche desde el exterior.

Pros:

Goede kamer en badkamer, zeer praktische locatie.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel.
Was er tijdens de WK, dus aan de bar beneden was er wat plezier. Ook danks door het vriendelijke personeel

Cons:

Er is een stellingbouw rond het hotel, uitzicht en gevoel daarvan viel wel tegen, gelukkig waren ze niet aan het werken toen.
De weg en plein over het hotel is wel een ganse bouwwerf, met geluiden die s'ochtends je wakker maken.
De muren zijn erg dun, dus je hoort je buren - gelukkig waren ze allemaal erg stil
Het ontbijt is te duur voor wat ze serveren

Clean but old
Pros:

Bon emplacement près de la plage. Personnel très agréable.
Chambre propre et spacieuse.

Cons:

Le logement est propre mais très ancien et mériterait une rénovation.
Malheureusement en période de canicule le logement était très chaud (plus de 30°C dans la chambre), et la seule fenêtre s'ouvrait à peine. Le personnel nous a prêté un ventilateur mais la nuit était quand même compliquée...

Pros:

L'emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

L'état de la cuisine et de ses équipements (important pour une auberge de jeunesse) et le fait que tout l'immeuble est en travaux (extérieur) ce qui enlève toute la luminosité des espaces.
Le ménage n'est pas automatiquement fait au quotidien, il faut le demander. Je trouve cela assez limité pour des dortoirs partagés... notamment lorsque nous devons jeter le papier toilette dans la poubelle et pas dans les WC (consigne de l'auberge) !

Pros:

Jedyne co mi sie podobało to widok z okna pomimo rusztowania oraz lokalizacja

Cons:

Rusztowania na zewnątrz. Powinni to napisac. Okna zasyfione przez to ze remontują. Materace niewygodne bo stare. Wykładzina brudna. Ogolnie wszystko brudne.
Śniadania to minimum. Ale co kto lubi.

Bra hostel nära stranden
Pros:

Bra läge nära stranden och ganska centralt överhuvudtaget. Dessutom det mest perfekta läget för avsikten med min vistelse. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal med glimten i ögat.

Cons:

A&Os egen bokningssida är riktigt kass. Till slut blev jag tvungen att boka genom booking.com.
Dessutom var det dålig kommunikation mellan booking.com och A&O. Jag ville förlänga min vistelse med ytterligare två nätter. Två dagar innan min vistelse var slut började jag försöka och då var mitt rum fortfarande var obokat då min bokning löpte ut men jag blev bollad fram och tillbaka mellan booking och hostel och det fanns ingen som kunde hjälpa mig förlänga vistelsen förrän sista dagen och då hade någon annan redan hunnit boka rummet. Inget annat lämpligt rum fanns heller tillgängligt.

Great and comfortable
Pros:

Great, comfortable sleep, and opposite the pier, and accommodated us with very short notice due to the apartment that we originally booked being someone's private property. Thank you so much

Cons:

Nothing
