My experience at the hostel was excellent since the place is exactly what I was looking for; if you want to go to the sea, it's right in front of you as soon as you open your eyes. Eros is an excellent host and fully respects the working hours. I recommend this experience 100%. I have to come back.

I did not have a good experience with the host. Although what was agreed regarding duties and hours was fulfilled, Eros the administrator is a very hostile person. Since my arrival I noticed his attitude, and I tried not to make a big deal about it, but over time it got worse; if he got stressed he spoke to me and answered rudely, raising his voice, and if I tried to address his complaints he refused everything. 90% of the time he was shut up, as he himself said 'smoking, playing video games and talking to his girlfriend', and if he went out and something needed to be done or we were resting he would get angry. Of course I left.
