The kitchen is pretty small so it can be a wait for cooking

The owner and staff were really friendly and helpful, very accommodating. Cool surf shack kind of vibe, don’t expect anything fancy. Great location for surfers also being right on Zicatella. Would recommend if you want to base yourself at Zicatella!

Location, the staff & guests, the atmosphere

beds weren’t so comfy and a very minimal kitchen… gas stove seemed to have a limitation of high flame, so pasta boiling wasn’t an ideal outcome… no other simple appliances like a blender for making a cold drink, since there’s no air conditioner… nonetheless the space is very good!

the location was very good.. very nice staff and the layout was very good!

The music coming from the nearby bar, but actually is there is no choice if you want to be inform of the sea, cause is full of disco club

There is an amazing view, you just need to cross the street and you are on the beach. The guys that takes care of the hostel are really present and work well to keep clean the spaces. Nice chill vibes. Lovely birds singing in the morning ❤️

Cheap and good bathrooms considering the price but tons of mosquitoes in the room kept me up each night

Wifi!

The vibe was great at the hostel. Laid bad and social, and with good chill out areas.

Stayed in March 2023

Sometimes they ran out of water for showers or toilets but the staff was always helpful in sorting this out quickly. The walls are quite thin and there could be a touch of repairs in some places.

The rooftop terrace with great view of the sea, the good matrasses and breezy rooms. The fact that there are 2 kitchens, it's a not a boutique fancy place but rather a nice and relaxed oldskool hostel!

I don’t mind things to be a little shanty, but some might. if you enjoy camping, this place is a luxury.

it was a great location and very cool people stayed there. the beds were decent but with the fan above your bed, it was very nice and cooling

:( Not very clean, super Basic, dorm is a bit loud and you cannot close the door, run by volunteers (prefer it when Mexicans get job opportunities instead of travelers) :) Location is amazing, nice terraza, chilled vibes, no air condition so it’s Not as freezing as the other Hostels at night :)

The room had a musty smell, it was noisy throughout the night, and unfortunately, I woke up with bedbug bites.

Perfect if you want to experience the nightlife - you can hear everything on the streets and whatever activities the other residents are up to. Unfortunately, this meant the hostel didn't get quiet until 3 or 4 in the morning. Additionally, the other residents were very much into recreational activities. Very reminiscent of a frat house.

The location really is the best part of the hostel; right on the beach and in the middle of a lively nightlife. For being pretty much all open-air, the hostel was clean, including the bathrooms. Lots of the other residents seemed to really enjoy hanging out with each other - I was only there two nights and didn't make friends due to my completely booked itinerary.

The weird bugs, the roaming cat that slept on guests beds and the kitchen facilities.

The location and the atmosphere.

Wasn’t able to stay long enough but I’ll be back soon :)

The location is amazing staff are lovely, lots of art on the walls and an excellent atmosphere, couldn’t have been better!

Facilities were very basic and would need quite some maintenance, a lot of noise after 10 whether from the street or the hostel itself, people smoking pot around the hostel including the room where we slept in and one of the mattresses had bedbugs

Friendly people and great location

I have traveled for 16 years and this is the worst hostel I have encountered. Where to start? 1)24hr reception does not exist, we were left waiting at the door until a guest opened it for us. 2) Very unprofessional staff who steal your food from the fridge, do not smile or greet you and act like one of the guests with no authority for anything. 3) Very weird vibe here, if you are not into taking drugs and living in filth then stay somewhere else 4) The hostel is extremely dirty including bed sheets, showers, kitchen, general area, rooftop jas potential but is filthy too. 5) Twice, someone took our food from the fridge and we are sure it was the owner since other guests said the same thing. So unprofessional 6) When we arrived they tried to charge us more saying there was a problem with the booking platform and then tried to charge a fee for drinking water which we did not use. 7) The general vibe of this place is just horrible and I urge anyone to pay a few extra euros and stay somewhere else, we regret booking two nights

The location of the hostel is awesome, right across the road from the beach, bars, restaurants and just a 15 min walk from the town center

The owner’s partner is very rude. She would be very upset if you are using the kitchen or the shower when she wants to use it. Not allowed to do laundry or even rinse your clothes after coming back from the beach. (She made a huge scene when I was doing this). I heard a couple of people, including me having our food eaten/used by her, and she wouldn’t apologize when I asked her about it. Very hard to communicate with her rationally. All in all, it was a horrible and frustrating experience interacting with lady.

The location is very close to the beach, and almost the cheapest hostel you can find.

Very smelly beds - stained mattress, sheets smelled of feet Rude staff

The location

Stayed in July 2023

sometimes the bathrooms get a little smelly. And the shower head needs replacing. mattresses in some rooms not so comfy. downstairs rooms need more ventilation.

the staff were so lovely, we really were sad to leave this place. nice social areas, really good vibes and it feels like a family, two good well equipped kitchens. gorgeous view of the sea. really cool artwork.
