Across the street from the train station (definitely a plus!), walking distance from the beach (20-25 minutes), the room was SUPER cramped. The bathroom wasn't very clean. I would try for another place before staying here again.

Great location, easy to walk everywhere, including beach. Right next to train station. Area is good although a bit rough at night!

Booked an 8 bed dorm with shared bathroom, got a 6 bed with ensuite! No complaints from me! Close to the station, easy to find, staff were very good, refunded us when we had to cancel one night, no problems at all here. Clean and tidy, breakfast is NOT free though! but free internet was good.

Good location next to the train station, although the area itself is a little dodgy at night. The kitchen closed early and the chill out room is now closed permenantly because it's off season. Also, our room stank! But all up, it was ok.

But they did look after me and I got moved to their sister hostel. So my rating comes from my experience at Hotel Baccarat. And in relation to Baccarat. I would stay there again. It was clean and friendly. Only bad point that I can think of was, that they dont operate the bed number system in the dorms. Its no fun if all the beds look occupied and there is nobody home. And all you want to do is go to sleep. And its also a headache for the staff that are trying to help you.close

One of the better hostels we stayed in while in Europe. The drains in the bathrooms were very old and always smelled! That was the major downfall, but atleast the place was clean and in a good location. I heard about a mouse in the kitchen, so we didn't use it. I'm a very clean person and I...

was in a pretty dodgy neighbourhood but security was ok. the bathroom in our dorm was way to small for 8 people to use - no extractor fan and you cant stand up straight to piss.

not bad for a night stay across road from train station although beer garden and kitchen closed 10pm, pretty reasonable for 1/2 nights although it was very noisey at night.

The location was GREAT. It was really close to the train station, and very easy to find. Everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance. We met some people in our rooms, and that was about it. Good and free access to internet.

Curfew a bit hard at times (it isn't until 3 and they will still let you in, but sometimes it was hard to even remember it) but it was AMAZING and so much fun! Location also can't be beat (right across from train station.)

Well it's the typical exampe of a hotel that couldn't maintain it's level, so the next thing to do is to put 4 people in every room. 100 points for the airconditioning, but -50 for the closed stinking bathroom(ensuite).

Nice place to stay, really close to the train station and very close to the main street. When I first got there Rim was at the reception and she was reeallly nice to me, made me feel very good. Being nicely received after a long train ride is always nice. In general, a good place to stay!

This hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed in due to the excellent facilities ( lounge room with wine glasses to BYO ), free internet and garden area. Thierry and Dan are fantastic hosts and make the experience so enjoyable. Recommend highly.

Unfortuantly the rooms are in the roof, so you dont want top bunk. Though the rooms appear clean, watching the cleaners make beds we realised they dont change sheets! Plus I had money taken out of my purse in my bag when noone else had checked in to our room...
