“The hostel is in the middle of a lively historic district, an easy walk to the marina. The directions provided were spot-on – more reliable than Google Maps for the narrow streets. Staff were sweet and super helpful, and the clean towels and bathrooms made a difference. It has a relaxed, informal feel, great value for what you pay. As a solo traveller, I never felt unsafe. The beds were comfy, the terrace with hammocks was lovely, and the communal space was roomy. AC, hot showers, and a well-stocked kitchen with free food were a bonus. The staff were young, friendly, and always ready to help.”
