“Atlantic Hostel Jan/Feb26”
+The location is just minutes from the main gringo areas by the beach, & there are plenty of lil mercados for the essentials & water. Plenty of bars & cafes etc for Nosh in the evenings. The roof top terraces...which can be accessed from kitchen area, has sun loungers, chairs & a table, So loverly to sit out morning & evening, watching the 🌇 over the rooftops & palms, listening to street 🐕 chorus & cockerels.
−Be warned ...it was 1 loo & shower for 14 people!¡ per room, & guess that was the same for all dorms ...unless You were in a ensuite room for 2/3 bods.. Thk-fully ...Not a full dorm & late risers!¡ So No issue with accessing bathroom & there is a bathroom upstairs by kitchen, which IS Really pleasant & and appreciated. However IF a Full dorm & You need to exit early ...You need to be organised. Kitchen items ...lacking in mugs/cups which I mentioned & No kettle, So gotta boil h2o on the stove., for beverages. So few more 🥣 & plates & tea-spoons🙂 & chopping boards.

+Staff were helpful and the place was clean. Wall lockers for storing valuables.
−A new (quite drunk) guest was shown to their bed space at around 2am. Codes were changed but relied on bunk mates passing the message on.

“Ok for a few nights sleep”
+Easy, walkable distance to centre
−The owner, unfriendly. Seemed bothered with anything. Slightly aggressive. Things weren’t up to date. It seemed like a good hostel but now it has faded. Kitchen barely had utilities. Common areas were not set up for meeting other travelers

“Worst hostel ever, avoid It!”
−This Is the worst hostel i have been in my life, dirty and dangerous, the owner does not reply and we had to wait for hours until late night for someone only to open the door. There are no lockers and there Is no information to enter in the hostel. Worst Place i have ever been.

−Way too expensive for what it is. Very basic, no aircon nor fans, dorm is really small with a disgusting bathroom for 14 people and gets crazy hot at night. Nevertheless I met some great people there and staff was decent. Also not too much to choose from on Sal for backpackers anyways, do what you have to.

“Sconsigliato”
+Posizione abbastanza centrale, a 5/8 minuti dalla via pedonale e, quindi, anche alla spiaggia principale. I dormitori sono arredati con gusto ma la gestione è incompetente.
−A parte la persona che mi ha fatto il check in e a cui ho pagato, e che a stento capiva due parole d'inglese, non ho più visto nessuno in tre giorni. La pulizia è inesistente, le lenzuola avevano sabbia e il pavimento era lurido. Nessuno ha nemmeno mai portato via l'immondizia. La doccia è calda e con buona pressione ma il bocchettone è attaccato al muro, non regolabile né staccabile, e quindi dovevo stare incollata alla parete con il miscelatore premuto sul petto per riuscire a lavarmi. Lo sporco del piatto doccia è indecente. Nessuna zona comune, nemmeno esiste una cucina per farsi almeno il caffè. A fronte di tutto ciò il prezzo, già molto alto, è totalmente ingiustificato.

+Rien sauf sympathie de l'employé sénégalais
−Auberge avec dortoirs serrés et lits doubles au rapport qualité-prix mauvais (double price)... même pour Santa Maria Établissement en état passable, sans parler du bazar des clefs. À mon avis : à éviter sauf besoin en secours ponctuel ou budget limité (dans ce cas là il. Vaut mieux séjourner à Espargos)

−non c'era nessuno spazio comune, non era per niente sicuro il modo di accesso, la colazione terribile, pulizia e manutenzione inesistente
