Starfish Alley Hostel

The place smells like old shoes. The bathrooms are shared with the men and women. The beds were clean and comfortable at least.

The hostel is for backpackers, mostly Russian tourists. The bed has a pillow , so if you want to add a blanket or towel, you will have to pay a separate fee, which is reasonable for the price. The hostel has a shared kitchen and drinking water, suitable for long stays on your travel route Location is near the beach, about 10 minutes walk to get there, open 24/7 suitable for tourists who like to party at night. Good hotel within the price range of backpackers

Horrible experience. At 7 am I woke up to construction noise. The hallway smells of cigarette smoke and other substances, and in the room there is mold next to the bed. They gave me a refund which was ok. They asked me not to post a bad review about them.

The noise coming from hostel has been disturbing the neighbors every night, especially after 11 p.m. Ioften hear loud music and guitar playing, talking, laughing, and most of time - the TV at a very high volume. Since 11 p.m. is the legal noise limit, I kindly ask you to take action to make sure your guests respect the quiet hours. One possible solution could be printing and posting a notice reminding everyone that loud noise is not allowed after 11 p.m. If the noise continues, I will have no choice but to leave a negative review on Google Maps and contact the police every time it happens. I really hope we can resolve this in a peaceful way, but I need this issue to be taken seriously. Can you please let me know what steps you can take to fix this?

Do not stay here — the place looks nothing like the photos and it’s extremely noisy. The owner is a real “genius”: for some reason, he turns on the alarm at night, which wakes up the whole neighborhood just because someone went out for a smoke. At 1 a.m. they start cleaning the territory, sweeping everything. At 1 A.M.! The type of people staying here is often unpleasant — it almost came to fights. It’s dirty inside and outside. What you see in the photos is nothing like reality. You won’t get any sleep, and if you decide to sit outside on a chair, some drunk people might approach you and start a fight.

Not a bad hostel. The beds were okay, pillows not very comfy but the rooms were fine. Bathroom wasn't the cleanest but it did the job. Lockers available too. There were some tiny ants in my bed but definitely no bed bugs so I don't mind. Made do for two nights sleep after long days adventuring :)

You need to kick out the rude person sleeping in room number 2, bed number 206. He burps loudly and constantly makes noise in the room. It's impossible to sleep. I wanted to stay longer, but I had to leave to avoid arguing with this man. The manager hears these noises but doesn't care. I think this man has been staying here for a long time. He burps and farts loudly in every part of the hostel and constantly goes in and out of his bed upstairs. This is a very disturbing person. I gave a low rating because people like this don't know how to live in a community. And the manager doesn't stop this. You will lose a lot of customers because of people like this... money has blinded you.

The hostel was so cheap, we were slightly worried what we were getting ourself into. However, it was great! Rooms are slightly small but beds are great size and you really feel like you have your own space with the curtains. Also, there is …

Currently staying here. Rented a room for 4.5mil a month (electric and water included) Room is ok. clean bed, got table and chair for laptop. Bathroom is smell a lot of time, sometime leak over to the bed room. Room have a vent fan so that really helps a lot. I think the owner is running this place with his emotion. I brought a girl over hang out few time. He said i can't bring hooker in whenever i want, have to let him know ahead of time cause police check. Quite unreasonable... To assume that. It is his hotel so respectfully i will move on after my time here is up. Room service is great. The lady clean your room well and often. Thank you

Arrived at 4am off a night bus, got shown to our dorm which had a huge dead cockroach right outside. Toilets were incredibly dirty and uncomfortable to be in. Owner told us about potential thieves, but then told us to leave our rucksacks outside. People were in the social area at 4am, and the energy felt really off. The room was incredibly hot, when I put on the fan I got swore at by someone staying in the room, the room was not nice smelling and I felt unsafe because the female dorm did not have a lock (the owner said ‘it’s ok because only women sleep in here’) literally anyone could have came in. Heavy male energy space which I’m used to as I travel a lot but this was not a nice energy. My partner and I decided to leave, mostly because we felt unsafe but also because when we woke up her bag was absolutely covered in bugs. Climbing all over her bag and her things, tiny bugs that took a long time to get rid of. Owner tried to say it was just ants but really that’s not an excuse. He gave us a refund for the room, which was appreciated but really the space is not comfortable or clean, the energy is very off and does not feel safe and they acted like we caused problems by pointing all of this out. Especially would not recommend for solo female travellers.
