Alright place to stay. Rude staff.

Comfortable beds, big private rooms with fresh toilets, close to restaurants and scooter rentals.

The welcome was like coming to an actual prison, less friendly probably. Don't know what their deal was that day but they were really rude with a bad attitude towards us for no reason.. That really ruined the stay for us and they were rude at check out again so you know what? Here's a bad rating for you.

Superbe !

La propreté parfaite, des chambres agréables, avec de la place pour les sac, la Clim, des casiers, prise et lampe pour chacun, pas mal de douche et wc. Un petit déjeuner offert fruits, toasts et boissons chaudes. Eau filtrée à disposition. Ils disent que le bar à côté peut déranger le soir personnellement j’en l’ai pas entendu tant que ça. Je recommande !!!

Excelente

Todo muy limpio, limpiaban constantemente la habitación y el baño. El desayuno también está bueno tostadas y fruta. El personal también era muy amable. Reservé por tres días y me terminé quedando una semana.

Nada. Es cierto lo del bar de al lado, pero tampoco el sonido es tan fuere que no te deje dormir. Más molesto es la gente que no sabe comportarse cuando comparte habitación.

Passable

Hang out area with hammocks. There is a bar next door which is loud until early hours but a good vibe - so bear that in mind when booking. Close to the pier therefore convenient for coming straight off of the ferry.

Big gap at bottom of door allowed any bugs inside. The room walls themselves could have been cleaner.

great facilities! clean and comfortable and nearby to some great food places, central town, the pier, as well as en route to some beautiful beaches.

right next door to an awesome bar/hangout spot on the island called Baby Rasta - recommend! but if you’re after decent sleep, they play super loud tunes into the early morning and ear plugs don’t block it out… good to keep in mind when you book :)

Bad

there was air conditioning in the rooms

had absolutely horrible sleep quality all the nights that I stayed here, not only because of the loud bar music that goes on until 1AM (which they do warn us about it before paying), but also the lack of curtains (which we were not warned about) that essentially means any light from either the person next to you in the room, or outside, can come through and disturb your sleep. So I was never able to sleep before 1AM (because of the bar music) and I was always waking up at 6 AM when the sun rose, because there were no curtains to block the light coming in through the doors. Doesn’t help that the door is a sliding glass door that lets in lots of sunlight.

Good for a short stay

There were plenty of showers and toilets and lockers. bring your own padlock though. The staff was very friendly and they had a water dispenser.

We were missing a common area/games or any sort of hostel activity. The reggy bar next door is super nice and has great music. it’s just not so nice anymore if you want to sleep at night. Also our dorm did not have any windows ): The breakfast was very basic.

Good value for money

Comfortable dorm room, nice and clean. Staff were lovely and helpful. Location is useful, close to the pier.

The bottom bunk bed had a safety bar along the side for kids, but it was pretty annoying and I kept hitting off it. Bar next door playing the same playlist each night until 1am.

location was right by the pier! complimentary toast, tea and coffee in the morning was really nice. washrooms were clean.

dorms were right beside a bar which blasted music until at least 1am. mattresses were not very comfortable. sometimes wifi was very slow/didn’t work.

Good enough

Nice Common area. Nice staff. Books available. Breakfast included, coffee for almost whole day. Great location.

Dorms are very dark, no windows. No curtains at beds. Medium clean (bathrooms are clean, but under my bed was A lot of stuff from previous guests so nobody even looks there). Towels not provided (you can rent one for 50B).

Passable

Location was great. Friendly hosts.

No privacy, very little space in the dorm and next door extremely loud, like even for a bar with live music loud (although good) music every night was just too much. AC not so great either. Don't expect to sleep well here.

Pleasant

Good location, close to everything. Good vibe at the hostel and good for socializing with other backpackers.

The bathrooms were quite dirty and didn’t smell good at all. The top bunk beds were very high with no fence, which was quite scary. There was no privacy at all what so ever.

Fairly good overall

Plenty of showers, light breakfast plus hot drinks provided free of charge, staff were nice, air-con was strong.

As cool as Baby Rasta is next-door, the noise is very loud until late in the early hours. Wi-Fi was a bit hit and miss, plus the beds could do with some curtains.

Passable

it's well located next to Rasta Baby, which is a funny place for playing pool and jam sessions where almost everyone smokes weed. I met very cool people there and saved some money.

I stayed there to safe some money. but I would not stay more than 2 nights, because the very big, dark dormitory with snoring people and too many getting up at different times makes it difficult to get sleep.

Perfect for someone who is planning to go out every night - wouldn't recommend for the rest

Close to the beach, easily accessible. Super friendly staff, breakfast is ok. Room is tidy and clean.

The one and only major problem of this place is that its right next to a bar which blasts live music every day until midnight - 1 AM.

Great place, loud bar next door

The staff was wonderful and the place was nice. Location is good except for the bar next door.

The downfall is the reggae bar next door. The live music was so loud I could feel my bed vibrate. Could not handle another night of Bob Marley until 1am.
