great amenities but slightly noisy at times

The kitchen had everything I needed, making it easy to prepare meals. The staff were welcoming and helped me with local tips when I asked. The garden view from the common area offered a lovely space to relax.

The shared space can get a bit loud.

convenient location

well-stocked kitchen

parking challenge

shared shower

The location sits in a prime spot, making it super convenient for exploring everything nearby. The shared kitchen is stocked with essentials, perfect for a solo traveler wanting to save some credits on food.

Parking is a real hassle, with no designated spots and metered street parking making it a challenge, especially during busy times. The dorm room gets stuffy due to lack of airflow, and there’s only one shower shared among multiple rooms—definitely not ideal for everybody. Also, the absence of individual reading lights and charging points for each bed can be a bit of a letdown for tech-savvy travelers.

celebration food

common garden

limited shower access

I arrived on the 4th of July and was thrilled to join in the celebration with great food laid out by the residents. The common garden area and cozy lounge made it easy to kick back and unwind. The only downside was the limited shower access, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! 🎉

charming cottages

clean environment

daily lockout

inconvenient timing

The hostel's charming cottages and clean environment were highlights, making it feel welcoming. However, the daily 11 AM to 5 PM lockout can be inconvenient, especially during rainy days. Overall, it’s a pleasant stay for those seeking a great location near the beach.

perfect spot for exploring beachfront parks and local restaurants

I absolutely loved my stay because it was just a block from the beach, making it super easy to enjoy stunning ocean views and stroll along the shore. There were plenty of delicious options nearby with spots like Tacos Moreno and Ideal Bar & Grill so close by.
