This was the best hostel for this price I have ever seen! Especially considering that it is so close to the beach and pier. The last hostel I went to at this price was basically a homeless shelter.

Didn’t like that I paid the same price or more for the same bed without ever getting a new towel or new sheets. The rooms are hot and you’re not supposed to open the door. No curtains for the bed, so limited privacy. The laundry machines only take quarters so be prepared to use the atm then break a 20 into 5s at the front desk then break that 5 into 20 quarters for your laundry. Great spot if you like being treated like a middle schooler at summer camp. No drinking even in your own single room which the price was $200 for one night. Also, don’t drink on the street because it’s illegal. If you’re at this place make sure you only drink the massively over priced alcohol at the bars. 👍💯 Also, I hope you like sarcastic, nosy management and janitors! Thanks for the blanket, hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.😉

I’ve stayed at this hostel many many times over the years and it is still fantastic! super clean, really friendly staff nice atmosphere. you get a free breakfast, it’s Nothing fancy but it does the trick. I’ve never had an issue staying here. I highly recommended it! My only Disappointment in my last stay after paying for 3 nights I needed to put my bags in storage for less than two hours, and they wanted to charge me for that.
