Ocean Island Inn | Backpackers | Suites

This hostel has restored my...

Liked: Everything was excellentI ramp beside the steps to the basement would be good. It would make getting bikes down and up much easier. But I'm glad for the safe storage.And 1 or 2 of ladies on the recrption where a bit curt. Bit others lovely.Breakfast and Dinner was fantastic. I didn't use the complimentary alcoholic drink. To me that was unnecessary and encouraged the wrong attitude.
Disliked: See above comment.

Cheap

Liked: It's cheap... for Victoria. Most of the staff is quite nice.
Disliked: Sleeping isn't easy if you are near a restroom, as the doors are very noisy. Beds are not comfortable, too rigid. Windows cannot be opened, you must deal with noisy and dirty AC. They booked my "whale watching" for the wrong date and then pretended it was my fault for not checking the confirmation email. No check in until 4 pm, even though check out is at 11 am.

Exciting

Liked: Although our initial room was sold out by mistake. The nice staff made it to us by providing us other rooms. We weren’t stranded. It was all like a family lodge. We got our drinks and breakfast too. But, the egg seemed spoiled and we couldn’t eat it.
Disliked: Everything except the eggs.

We did not stay there....

Liked: Olcsó lett volna. A recepciós lány kedves volt, próbált együttműködő lenni. Közel volt minden, belváros. Ennyi a pozitívum.It could have been cheap. The receptionist girl was kind and she tried to help us. Everything was near, it is in downtown. That is all.
Disliked: Homeless drug addicts on the street in front of the Inn, we felt that is a huge safety issue. The stairway smelled from toilet cleaning material. The corridors seemed untidy and narrow, and smelled a little. The room was too small for us. They shouldn't allow (or Booking.com shouldn't allow) to accept families to book it. It is only for students or at least for couples.Also it was really noisy downstairs.

If you take “backpackers” as...

Liked: It was available in a very high season. They offer breakfasts and dinners and coffee/tea is available 24 hours, which is good. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Old space definitely needs renovation. Strange smell of an old house in the rooms
