The location is excellent, the host is very nice, and the Ria room offers a view of the lagoon. Breakfast was very good, with fresh bread, great coffee, and fruit.

I stayed for two nights and was really impressed by the hospitality! As soon as I arrived, the gentleman called to see if I had managed to get in and explained what I needed for the stay, which was very pleasant. He was very helpful, even at breakfast he kept checking if everything was fine or if we needed anything. The experience was very positive. The person in charge was very friendly. That’s how it went, so I recommend it! If I can come again, I’ll return!

The staff and owner were friendly and helpful, and they communicated well when I had an issue with the hob. The rooms, bathroom, and shared kitchen were clean, the Wi‑Fi worked well, and the place was centrally located just a short walk from the beach. I especially liked the small sea‑view terrace in the evenings. Late check‑out was a big plus, and the large lockers (keys provided) and clothes hangers were handy. Reception is only open until 1 pm, after that it’s self‑check‑in. There are a few drawbacks and odd practices compared to other hostels, mainly around the kitchen. Only two vertical hobs mean only one person can cook at a time. Cooking is normally not allowed before 6 pm, which is a real problem for anyone who needs to self‑cater due to dietary restrictions and has no restaurants nearby. An exception was made during my stay because occupancy was low, but I would only stay again if that exception could be repeated. For those with no dietary restrictions, breakfast is served quite late (9:15–10:00). Also, fridge and cupboard space is limited because most of the kitchen storage is used for breakfast supplies.

The room offers great views and parking is easy. Breakfast is a bit chaotic because it’s only 45 minutes.
