The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The area was often unclean. There are people walking in and out of the room throughout the evening; it was extremely hard to sleep well. The bathroom and shower area has a lot of grime; evidently have not been cleaned in a long time.

It's a party hostel, which is all good! just make sure you expect a lot of mess and a lot of noise, but you get what you pay for, its the cheapest hostel in surfers! and does have good hang out spaces but again there will always be people drinking and being rowdy.

Whilst this was convenient for my purposes, in that I was only there for a limited time, I did find it frustrating that the designated smoking area was between the main entry and reception area, meaning there was no option but to walk through it. Having said that, the designated non-smoking area was full of smokers as well. Also, no control over "quiet" time after midnight. Loud partying still going on until 2-3am on all 3 nights I was there. If you are a partying smoker, perfect for you :)

Two words: BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! This property is well aware they have bed bugs yet do nothing to fix the problem. I woke up at 4am with acute itching (then could no longer sleep!) 48hours later I am still itching, with large red inflamed patches all over my body which will leave scars and a hugely swollen finger that is weeping at the bite mark and likely infected, meaning I am limited in the use of my hand and may have to see a doctor. Avoid this place if you value your health and safety. They also are offering a 'competition' incentive if you leave them a review, therefore I would not trust any favourable reviews.

The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach and main clubs. Majority of the staff were exceptional however there was one point where we were in our room ill and a cleaner came into our room ‘to clean’ and wouldn’t leave for a solid 5 minutes of us asking. The cleanliness of our room was also questionable with stains and dirt all over the floor but the overall atmosphere is really friendly
