I arrived with my family at 12 o'clock at night and left in the morning because everything was disgusting and did not match the description! It's just a nightmare! People do not eat there save your nerves, time and money!

The showers didn't work properly, there was nowhere to hang your clothes in the shower. The walls are very thin, the rooms are not up to standard for the price that is charged. The staff begin cleaning the showers and the floor in the hall way at 7 in the morning, making lots of noise with no regard for the people that have paid to stay in the hostel. Please avoid staying here at all costs!!

I loved the location and surroundings, all in all if they decided to renovate the building it would be a really nice place to stay.
Small rooms, dirty furniture, shared bathroom, poor quality of breakfast.

There was some nice staff working. Unfortunately it doesn't turn around the place. My negative response doesn't reflect to their work.
Surrounding is good as close to beaches and not too far away from the town.
No value for money. About 130 Euro for one night/ one person is a rip off. Terrible smell of toilet and dirty drainage throughout the buildings. Filthy mattresses, old unisex shared showers and toilets. Worn out furniture, my window was permanently closed with a very old wooden shutter. Above the door a window, so light shines in throughout the night if someone is in the floor/ using bathroom. Breakfast was in price included, but very basic, always same and not really a thing (there was no option to book without breakfast). The buildings are big (therefore heaps of people staying there at the same time) and remain from deep communist times (seemed to accommodated kids in the older days as for very low wash basins), furniture might be still from then.
Bring your own towels!
Soap dispenser in shared toilets where empty or didn't work, doors shut loudly or get slammed. Free Wifi works in front of reception.
Some people behaved gross in the bathrooms/ toilets or even urinated in the ocean in front of you.
I was kinda happy when time was over there.
I stayed in several hostels or budget accommodation and this one was unfortunately an overly expensive and disgusting experience.
Via booking.com it costs way too much money for what they offer.

Distance too the Sea was perfect. Also the parking possibility close to the Hostel was great, some of the Places were even covered by the Sun
Showers could be cleaner, WLAN was only working ok outside in front of the Entrance, in the Locker in the Room the Stick to hang the Clothes was missing and it was usually very loud in the late Evening because of the many Families with Kids there
5.0 / 10.0
The price is good
The weather is very hot and there is no air conditioning or fans and this is very bad
The drainage of the water in the bathrooms is very bad and the water in the showers most of the time is cold from many people

The location is nice for an overnight stay on my way from Italy to Pula, Croatia. There is indeed a lot of pine trees in the area, the smell is fantastic. A short drive to Novigrad where there is a great choice of nice restaurants for dinner.
The beach nearby (3 min walk) was very busy over the weekend. There was another beach about 10-15 min walk away which was more quiet. Mind the check out time which is 9.30am!

Honestly nothing. The spot around is nice but no way to stay a 2nd night here.
Prince of the room was just crazy compare to what you get. It worth 30 to 40€ a night at his best period max. It's good for a '' roots travel mode '' and cheap trips normally. But using the overcrowded period they inflate prices. I was with small kids in transit with no other option than this room and i had to pay 130€ for a very noisy, uncomfy and dirty room. Was terrible equipements (matteress and beds, i even don't talk about dirty showers and toilets in the corridor...). Smell smoke, crazy noisy all night long with people just going in and switching on lights in the corridor and never switching off, light you cannot block cause no curtains.
Hopefully workers here were nice and smart and the spot is very nice by the sea.
But a part if you are young students who don't care about sleeping couple of hour and coming off season wher you can get a normal prince for this kind of hostel avoid it. Prices are not in accordance with what you get.

The staff was very kind and helpfull, the place more than beautiful, very near to sea. The place was clean!
The shared kitchen is too small for so many people, lack of space in rooms, but we knew where are we going...

Only one kitchen for the entire hostel.
Overpriced for this room.

7.0 / 10.0
Clean, friendly staff and grounds good for the kids.
Poor WiFi only around reception, not good if your room is above reception because of the noise and cigarette smoke.

A guy was cleaning the parking with a blowing machine at 7am. In a place where you pay for sleep and quietness !

The rooms were simple, but fine. The hostel is located right at the sea. Best thing for us was the breakfast. For 5€ it is a top tier buffet.
The halls smelled a bit badly.

Hello, my remark is primarly addressed at Booking. When I reserved, I requested for one bed and I finally paid for two bed as this bed was in a room with two beds. This means that I paid actually twice the price I expected to pay.
