Would not stay again.
Pros:

Convenient location but very loud at night with lots of people shouting outside until 5 am

Cons:

No shower in the en-suite. Bed was really uncomfortable. Room too hot and fan too noisy to sleep with. Scaffolding up which was not made clear at time of booking. This meant anyone could get in via the window if left open. Very noisy outside window until all hours.

Pros:

Friendly staff, close to beach and the Lanes

Cons:

Overpriced double room. Shitty interior. No aircon but a dirty and dusty fan in room that we didn't turn on because we didn't need more dirt in the room. No furniture but a bed. Otherwise empty room. Quite bizarre.

The best luxury youth hostel ever, I have already recommended it to hundreds of my friends & family all over the wor
Pros:

Excellent value for money, the location is perfect and the facilities & staff amazing. Please pass on compliments to outstanding members Dan, Nathan and Omar was a very good manager!!

Cons:

Obviously the current scaffoldings don’t help but I believe the hostel will look even better once all is finished. I would appreciate a mail or message telling me when the works are completed . BIG DISSATISFACTION: NO WAY OF COMMUNICATING BY PHONE!!!
