It was a fantastic location, I had never stayed at a hostel before and I was so pleased with how clean it was and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Zuha 9.0

We booked a private suite so it was really convenient and the room had huge windows. Its a shame there was construction taking place but you could see the coast clearly from the floor to ceiling windows.
