The location is very nice, a short way to the beach and directly in the town. The kitchen was big and had everything I needed. I stayed in a 6 Room bed and we had our own bathroom.

The pool is the highlight of this property and was kept very clean. I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm with en-suite and met loads of solo female travellers and always felt very safe here. Really lovely staff.

LOVED the shuttle - I think it was important given the location, I'm glad it was included in the stay. The surfboards also a great touch that they were complimentary. The pool bar area was stunning! Great having an aircon in the bedroom too. Bathrooms felt cleaner than other hostels I have stayed at.

I had a great experience at Arts Factory by Nomadas! The service of the staff were so frendly and professional, I just used the space for my tent and it was nice. I forgot my shoes and I wrote them and immediately they replied to me the communication was great. I'm really happy with the service there and would definitely recommend them!

Such a good location, bathrooms were so modern and spotlessly clean, really big and powerful showers, kitchen was always maintained and cleaned and there was lots of free condiments in the kitchen which is handy as a backpacker making meals!! Best hostel on our trip up the east coast

Great location- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
