Adjustable temperature panel for air-con in room. Blinds shut out a good amount of light. Central location, and only a five minute walk to 4-mile beach. The road outside wasn't at all noisy.

Hostel was extremely understaffed, so the room and bathroom could've been much cleaner. Also, there are clothes horses to hang your washing in the back outside area, but that is also the smoking area. Would make more sense to dry clothes in the front outside area where smoking is not permitted.

The Aircon was clean which meant healthy clean air in the room. The bed was comfortable.

Although the Aircon was clean it was loud. The bathroom was dirty and needs air circulation as very hot in there and no windows. The room needed a decent clean. No convenient power points in the room or in the common area.

We stayed in a private room. The room was good with a comfortable bed and a bathroom ensuit. However the common kitchen could have been cleaner. It was a mess most of the time.

The kitchen was unclean

single room was sized ok, decent TV connected to the web and an alright en suite

side lane entrance wasn’t great and it’s a back backer’s so it can get a bit rowdy. but you’ve gotta expect that right?
