I didn't know what to expect first time booking in a hostel but Surf City surprised me in every way possible. The Environment is so friendly and the staffs are extremely helpful. I had absolutely a blast staying at this place. I couldn't leave on the day I checked out. Shower is clean. You always have everything you need. I loved how everyone is always socializing in the common area and you make so many friends, never knowing what's gonna happen the next hour makes this trip absolutely unforgettable. Service is so amazing. Loved the French lady who works in the office. They say about this place that "you can check out but you can never leave." It was true !! I checked out at 11am and locked my stuff in their storage and stayed there till 11pm ! I must come back! If you are looking to have the whole "traveller" experience, making new friends, party and yoga/volleyball on the beach, this one is definitely the right place ! Thanks again Surf City! I can't wait to come back again !
