    the place was super clean, and the sea view really made valentine's day special. the staff were friendly and attentive, which made my previous visit seem less enjoyable.

    the noise level was a bit too high.

    We loved the location of Soul Hostels, as it was close to everything and within walking distance to the beach. the spacious rooms were a plus, although we felt the beds could be improved for added comfort.

    Great location near the beach. Noisy and lacking basic security.

    The terrace with sea views was a delightful spot to enjoy my morning coffee, feeling like I was sipping it right on the waves. the sea breeze and sound of crashing waves made it a truly magical experience.

    Limited bathroom shelf space.

    The room had a private entrance with sea views. I enjoyed playing table tennis and darts, plus the à la carte breakfast. the staff was helpful, and I had quality conversations. the location was convenient and peaceful. the rooms were clean and spacious. a homely vibe made my stay splendid! One staff member even made sure to unplug the AC for me. A memorable trip, especially after dodging the missing ceiling fan's summer woes.

    the dorms were clean, staff was welcoming and it is just a short walk to the beach and a great cafe. the vibes were fantastic, and i met some wonderful fellow travelers. the sea views from the rooftop, cafe, and hammock area were stunning. highly recommend for solo travelers looking for a homey atmosphere.

    Everything was just right! 👌.

    Right next to the beach, we had a blast chilling, taking dope Instagram pics, and renting scooters to explore. the hostel's vibe was on point , we met cool peeps, jammed to music, and watched epic sunsets. Top, notch vacay spot for us teenagers!

    More happening party nights would've been lit for us young, party, loving peeps. Just a small request to turn up the fun factor a bit more for our wild souls!

    Initially planned for 4 days but stayed 2 weeks due to the amazing experience. Friendly volunteers, fantastic common cafe, clean rooms, and proximity to the beach within a 4-minute walk. Great vibe with a young feel and spacious private rooms with beautiful sea views and balconies. Enjoyed waking up to the sound of waves crashing. Cons: Can just recommend this hotel.
