the good: clean, lockers, most of the staff are friendly, great location the bad: its a party hostel, so if you dont want to party every night its the wrong place for you, especially in 8bed / 10bed dorms

I had a fantastic time at Base. Was very very fun, always a party!! Stayed in 10 bed dorm which was great, 306 was a lot of fun. One guy even got 306 tattood on his leg. Staff were great, always helpful for any kind of your problem. 10/10! Base thank you!!!

Its a happening Hostel. Stayed in the Double room as we are a couple. No problems. Only good things happened. Service from staff was great. Offered better rates for long term stays. Really good Hostel

There are good things and bad things about this hostel. Breakfast was really good and honestly cheap. Rooms are clean and the majority of staff were friendly apart from the guys who works at night. It takes only 5minutes walking to the beach. My major complain was noisy in the last day. Sleeping was impossible.

We were just too old and too tired for this party backpackers. It is in a good location but we asked for a quiet room and were put above the pounding nightclub in a small room with a funny smell and I felt we paid a lot for what it was (we ended up paying less for a much quieter... More
