The most depressing hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The room although big was as welcoming as a prison cell. No TV or pictures on the wall which were bland and dull as was the floor. A big shower and toilet room but 1 piece of soap 2” square and 1 sachet of shower gel. A 6€ breakfast didn’t include cheese or ham, just bread and jam, cereal and fruit and croissants. The hotel seems like it’s in a “Ghost Town”. Nothing around and quiet and dead. A TV in the lobby but not suitably located for guests to see. The place reminded me of a hospital, school or prison and getting breakfast there lining up was in keeping. The beach was about 200 metres away and some restaurants about a 10 minute walk away over a bridge. Check in at 5pm and out by 10am seemed strange but I’m pleased it was! Less time to spend there! I certainly won’t be returning there or recommending the place. It was just dull and boring and staff were conspicuous by their absence! No warmth or good feeling to the place. Sterile and clinical appear to be good words to sum it up. The room had a bed in the corner a wooden platform acting as a desk with a chair. The place is lifeless. A large car park though which was good. That’s about it!

Incredibly noisy, otherwise decent hostel
Most things were as expected - low budget accommodation, good quality for price. What was unacceptable is the high noise by a group of kids. Late at night and early in the morning they were slamming doors, running around, yelling and banging at doors. The hostel should make the adults responsible for these kids aware that this is unacceptable for other guests. Due to, we barely got any shuteye which ruined an otherwise pleasant and very well located place.
