Fantastic
A party hostel

Ideal if you are looking for an amazing time and doesn't really mind the noise from the bar that turns into a nightclub. You will definitely meet a lot of people as the hostel is really big, it more of a community. Big spacious rooms, they got cleaners every morning but it might wake you up, and they just added a powder room and a fitness center!Definitely worth your stay.

Party vibe!

If you are looking for a good time then this is definitely the place for you. It might be hard to get some decent sleep as the nightclub gets pretty noisy and loud at night. They have a decent pool with tanning beds and the area is always with music. Good location close to everything.

Nice staff, we had no problem. And I loved sleeping under the stars on the terrace (because there is no tent but a front) for 5 euros and the view and superb!
