Great environment for traveling solo!

I had a great stay at Aquarius. I upgraded to the studio room which was a loft style private room which was very nice. Both staff and the other lodgers were incredibly social. I participated in the 4:45am lighthouse tour and the ping pong tournament both of which were really well attended (and free!) Traveling solo it was awesome to meet some new people at the hostel!

Fun hostel with a social vibe

Great location, friendly staff, very social hostel. I stayed in a private room which was clean. Very social atmosphere. They hosted game nights and other events which was fun. Only downside is that the walls were a bit thin so you could head noise from people partying.

It was a great spot. But room F1 was loud. Paper think walls and heard everyone coming in and out all night. For a good sleep, pick another room..

6/10 Good

Unfortunately a lot of the parking area was closed for the one night I was there, so had to park on the street and feed a meter until 6pm as it was only one hour parking. The info on the place stated no noise after 11.00pm, but I heard yelling and screaming regularly throughout the night, mostly from the girls who were probably "over refreshed" from the bar or coming back from a night out! Granted, I'm in my 60s and probably don't cope with that too well nowadays. It was deathly silent in the morning at 7am when I got up, and no wonder! Still, a nice enough place with lovely staff and facilities

Great location and easy check in. Staff were a little unfriendly to my partner when he arrived, and the room was not very clean. The spa was not clean and was unpleasant to use.
