    I stayed few days in this hostel and it was such a good experience. Very friendly, a lot of activity and the Equipement is very nice (sport, gaming, tables games) thank you to Laura one of the animatrice, she’s very friendly with everyone and she gives a very good energy. One bad thing there is a problem with some locker in the room

    The price is quite high for a bed that is shaking if you sit down. The curtains provide very little privacy. Some of the staff is very helpfull but some can give a little attitude.

    Nice common area. Good location for catching the ferry. Appreciate that the hostel provided a towel.

    The place is a dorms hostel. The private room is in the same area as the dorms. The room was not properly cleaned. Stained sheets, dust near the bed, shower had a lot of sand in it and the room always had a funky smell and a small window in the bathroom.

    The vibe is cool. Bed was comfortable and shower was good.

    Little short on storage space but it's normal

    A good location and the rooms are at the back so are quiet. The owner and his staff were fabulous, they helped sort out an issue quickly and kindly Had good social area with bar and outdoor seating. Everything needed nearby

    If you want to stay close to the pier is good. I stayed for 2 nights and it was nice and now noisy.

    No secure place available to put your bag after check-out. Common area looks nice, but is too big to be vibie. The dive school the hostel has teamed up with is quite expensive, I would recommend going with Finsanity.

    Cheapest hostel at the pier, close to many diving schools.

    Was on top bunk and ladders were not stable. No lockers in rooms. No drinkable water offered (had to pay).AC was right above my bed so actually caught a cold. No food or snacks available to purchase. Had to share plug with person below- only 2 plugs in entire room ( one per bunk bed)

    Close to pier and centre. Pool table, PS4, weights and other games. Owner spoke English. Other staff friendly and helpful.

    Great location, close to the beach

    Bunk beds were very basic and squeaky so we felt bad anytime we had to move position. Would've been great to have lockers for each person for security. The room was unlocked each time we entered which, although nothing was taken, and we generally felt safe, isn't great considering people's valuables are in the room with no option to secure them inside anywhere.

    The location was excellent. Very close to the beach, few minutes walking distance. It was also very close to the pier where a lot of day trips departed from and our ferries to and from the island. A large communal space is great for somewhere else to relax without disturbing others in the dorm. The hammock was also a nice touch. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.

    It was a bit stuffy and only a window into the hallway. The toilet didn’t flush and you had to take the back off to flush it, the walls are very thin so you can here partying down the street as if it’s in the next room over.

    It was the best price room available on the island last minute and overall was fine. Aircon and fan worked well. Great WiFi speeds and a comfy shared space downstairs with a pool table and hammock

    The lights in the bathroom were broken the whole time (we stayed 3 nights but people told us it was broken before we arrived too). Showering at night I had to use a flashlight or it was pitch black. They also didn't clean the bathroom at all while we were there and the trashcan was overflowing.

    Nice location near the pier. Friendly staff. They gave us towels for free (a lot of places charge a deposit or rental fee).

    Bunk beds aren't comfortable - the springs in them are destroyed. One of them caved in when you sit on it to either lounge or sort something out. The bed frames are wobbly and will move even at the slightest of movements. It's fine a layover or bed to sleep for one or two nights - not a long stay

    Staff are great. The bar area is a nice chill out spot that you can chat to your mates or play games with - Uno, connect 4, cards, PS4, switch, etc. WiFi is alright as well - not the greatest, not the worst. Located halfway up a hill on the main strip from the pier and 15mins walk max to sairee beach
