Hey Castle B&B

service is good

breakfast

Great location, good room for a big group, liked the lawn green space outside and the rooftop too!

No AC in downstairs part of big group room so would be a little hot. Upstairs part of big room had a great AC

The staff were really helpful. Before I arrived the book the return ferry tickets for me, and reserved a three wheel bike (since I can't ride normal bikes) for me too which made it great for exploring the island, even picked me up from the ferry. Although they had limited English they were still able to explain everything to me and made sure I had a nice stay on the island.

My only negative would be not being given a key for the lockers in the bunk room, but that might just be because I didn't directly ask about that.

The good: The hostel itself has great potential. It is located in a lovely, quiet area with fantastic sunset views from the rooftop and garden. As for the dorms, the beds were spacious and comfortable, and having lockers available was a definite plus. Summary: If you just need a nice bed and a view, this works. But if you are looking for a warm hostel atmosphere or high standards of cleanliness, you might be disappointed.

The Not-So-Good: Hygiene: The cleanliness was disappointing. There is only one toilet and shower for the dorm, and it wasn’t cleaned daily—I saw the same hair in the shower for two days. There were also ants occupying the bathroom sink. Atmosphere: I stayed in late April, the "vibe" was non-existent. I didn’t feel welcomed by the staff; interactions felt cold and indifferent. Breakfast Experience: I had booked breakfast included, but upon arrival, I was offered a lower price to opt-out, which made it feel like preparing the meal was an inconvenience for them. While the food itself was actually quite good, the service was silent—I didn't even get a "good morning" back. Wifi: not so fast as stated in other reviews upon my opinion
