    I have never stayed in a hostel before and I have to say that this one sends it out of the park. The Staff get n automatic 10/10, all the way around. The hostel itself is also top notch.

    Very well kept and the staff were very professional, polite, and very friendly and helpful. Kudos to them! I wouldn’t change anything!

    Kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with necessities and clean. The only one small detail is of course………. The parking! However its everywhere but especially here. So just keep in mind that you will have to park 2- 4 blks. away from hostel. However, the blocks are very very short and only a 3-7 min. Walk I recommend this place highly!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This was my first ever stay in a Hostel. Aside from one of the night front desk girls who had colorful hair and a really bad attitude, I had the best time. The property was clean and safe, most of the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the people I met who were also staying there were super diverse and welcoming. It's also centered between more restaurants and bars and entertainment than you can count, and a three-minute walk from the ocean. I'll absolutely be back, and I couldn't recommend it more.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This is a great hostel.....Less than 2 blocks to beach with fun shops, bars and restaurants all around and within walking distance... The patio is spacious and fun social!

    Overall, good atmosphere, and great location. Amenities were nice, and got to meet nice people there. I stayed in a shared room with bunk beds. Lockers are limited and smaller than what they should be. A carry on does not fit in there. A loaded backpack barely fits if you push it. There was a mess all over the room, everyone had everything all over the place. It was not really clean inside either. And there was someone who slept all day and got to be more active all night. I would have appreciated being changed to another room, honestly. As for the rest of the installations… hallways were clean as well as common areas. I believe the bathrooms are not cleaned every day. I stayed 3 days/2 nights. Always used same stall and same shower. The 3 days the stall had the same cookie leftover/crumbs in the same spot, and the shower room had someone’s towel on the floor the whole time too. That’s proof that the staff doesn’t clean the bathroom daily. Which is a sanitation issue. Other than that… great location, atmosphere and very friendly staff! That was my favorite thing about this place.

    Second time staying there and it was better than the first. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were top notch. And the location was spot on with so many restaurants and the beach. 10/10.

    I love this hostel and have been using them for a few years now. Unfortunately, I've noticed a decline in the cleanliness during my last few stays. A few of the bathrooms, including the stalls in the women's restroom, were out of toilet paper. I'm not sure what changed but I do recall they had a cleaning crew that would clean the hostel in the mornings. Not sure if that is still being done.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean the stuff was so helpful and respectful. Breakfast was great the offered waffles and packs of oatmeal coffee & tea. Even after you check out you can still hang out until 6pm go to the beach come back and shower. I’m definitely coming back I encountered so many different people every one was so nice. My belongings were safe I didn’t have any isssues with parking was a great adventure
