Posizione abbastanza centrale, a 5/8 minuti dalla via pedonale e, quindi, anche alla spiaggia principale. I dormitori sono arredati con gusto ma la gestione è incompetente.

A parte la persona che mi ha fatto il check in e a cui ho pagato, e che a stento capiva due parole d'inglese, non ho più visto nessuno in tre giorni. La pulizia è inesistente, le lenzuola avevano sabbia e il pavimento era lurido. Nessuno ha nemmeno mai portato via l'immondizia. La doccia è calda e con buona pressione ma il bocchettone è attaccato al muro, non regolabile né staccabile, e quindi dovevo stare incollata alla parete con il miscelatore premuto sul petto per riuscire a lavarmi. Lo sporco del piatto doccia è indecente. Nessuna zona comune, nemmeno esiste una cucina per farsi almeno il caffè. A fronte di tutto ciò il prezzo, già molto alto, è totalmente ingiustificato.

The location is just minutes from the main gringo areas by the beach, & there are plenty of lil mercados for the essentials & water. Plenty of bars & cafes etc for Nosh in the evenings. The roof top terraces...which can be accessed from kitchen area, has sun loungers, chairs & a table, So loverly to sit out morning & evening, watching the 🌇 over the rooftops & palms, listening to street 🐕 chorus & cockerels.

Be warned ...it was 1 loo & shower for 14 people!¡ per room, & guess that was the same for all dorms ...unless You were in a ensuite room for 2/3 bods.. Thk-fully ...Not a full dorm & late risers!¡ So No issue with accessing bathroom & there is a bathroom upstairs by kitchen, which IS Really pleasant & and appreciated. However IF a Full dorm & You need to exit early ...You need to be organised. Kitchen items ...lacking in mugs/cups which I mentioned & No kettle, So gotta boil h2o on the stove., for beverages. So few more 🥣 & plates & tea-spoons🙂 & chopping boards.

Staff were helpful and the place was clean. Wall lockers for storing valuables.

A new (quite drunk) guest was shown to their bed space at around 2am. Codes were changed but relied on bunk mates passing the message on.

Rien sauf sympathie de l'employé sénégalais

Auberge avec dortoirs serrés et lits doubles au rapport qualité-prix mauvais (double price)... même pour Santa Maria Établissement en état passable, sans parler du bazar des clefs. À mon avis : à éviter sauf besoin en secours ponctuel ou budget limité (dans ce cas là il. Vaut mieux séjourner à Espargos)
