Super chill
Really great vibe and very chill. Can't beat $1.50 beers and $1 happy hour special. Beers are on the "honor system" because as three part says when you arrive, "you are family now."

Great Stay
Upon arrival, we were greeted by hotel staff and volunteers. They helped us out of the water taxi and getting our luggage to the reception area. We were given a brief summary of the hostel dos and don'ts right away. The hostel was clean, so was our room and bathroom. Definitely a great experience!

Buena habitación mediana con AC y baño. La cocina está okay. Zona común es grande y con un bar. Hay bastante ruido alrededor del hostal con música y gente trabajando en muelles con lo que puede dificultar el sueño.

Une bonne adresse
Localisation parfaite dans le village de Old Bank. Hôtel sur pilotis à l'ambiance très cool et sereine, comme un air de paradis! Le personnel et le capitaine Andrew sont adorables et proposent de bonnes excursions. Dommage, cette ile pourrait être parfaite si elle n'était pas si sale :-(
