    HIGHLY recommend this place. Overall, one of my best hostel stays. Great facilities, everything is super clean and works well. Communal areas are small enough that everyone hangs out together. Amazing included breakfast and optional home-style dinners. Good connections with local companies e.g. surfing lessons and they know the best parts of the town. Incredible staff - thanks sm Robyn, Luca, Pat, and Florence :))

    Of our whole trip to Spain and Portugal, this was easily the best stop that we made. Not only for the breathtaking beaches outside town, but also and mostly due to the warm and welcoming atmosphere in the hostel. The staff was super helpful, both before and after our arrival, helping to clear out any doubts we had. Breakfast is buffet-like, plentiful and with lots of options to choose from. The hostel has a very nice common area with tables, sofas, games, books and movies. A small courtyard is present in the back of the hostel. They do BBQs from time to time. If you are travelling with your own car, free parking can be found in the streets around the hostel. Here's where we met the best people in our trip. Definitely recommended!

    Very friendly staff that really made my stay. First we wanted to stay 5 days but in total we stayed 10 days. A really nice hostel that was close to the center and the beach. It’s a perfect hostel for solo travelers, young people or they even have a big family room.
