This is almost the best hostel in the world.
For me it had everything and the pancake breakfast was a bonus.
Real good vibes and friendly place.
I wish the beds had privacy curtains that’s all that is missing in my opinion.
Still excellent for the price and location.

Actively checking rooms, and ensuring spaces are cleaned or maintained in between guests.
Having a late check in person staying at desk. Sometimes desk was unmanned and we’re left waiting to find someone.

Nice, roomy place with free* beach items ( must return items) and almost something different planned for every day of the week! Nice little spot for me to sleep for a few days.
