The hostel was in a fab location, loved all the effort put in to try and make your stay comfortable, loved the decora and art very cool. Great breakfast choice of nica breakfast or one with fruits. Staff were very helpful especially the girl at breakfast. Would recommend staying here. But would maybe opt for a dorm instead of a room.

We really enjoyed our stay here. A basic hostel at a good price for the location. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast is delicious which switches between pancakes and eggs with beans/rice etc. The rooms are clean. The kitchen is basic but has everything you need and is a good size. Perfect location right in the centre of town.

Felt like a was in therapy from morning to evening. So much privacy. Morning walk on the beach was amazing, usually was the only person. Insane views from the chill area. Food was really good. Mono loco smoothie tastes like heaven. Also staff was super nice and chill. Definitely going back. Thanks William and company!

We felt totally safe and enjoyed that it was a 4-5 minute walk to Playa Marsella. Playa Maderas was an 8 - 10 minute motorcycle ride and there were 3 or 4 more restaurants to choose from as well as options for surf board rentals and lessons.
