Lovely place and staff but go with friends and your own transport.

Really colourful and cool upcycled features and very friendly staff.

It is not a busy hostel. As a solo traveller expecting to meet people, I was the only guest for 5 nights. Also without my own car transfers were expensive and a miscommunication about my transfer to and fro the airport meant I had to pay double what I’d been told.

The place was a little oasis of peace and calm with some of the friendliest staff members I have ever encountered. You truly are treated with a great deal of respect. My brother and I had a wonderful time and could fully relax. The atmosphere and set up really lightened the mood and made enjoying the holiday that much easier.

There was a slight issue with GPS. Unfortunately the maps did take us further from the location.
