Reviews of HOSTEL ART & JOY

The hostel is run by a very kind mother and daughter duo. They really keep the place clean and fresh. The housekeeping lady is also very kind and friendly. The beds are comfy and there are plenty of spaces to hang out (balcony, terrace or grape garden).

Nice comunity, very pleasent energy in the whole place.

I never slept at the hostel. The whole experience was very pleasent.

Good position to visit the center and park the car.

Our room had no windows

Very nice hostel with huge dormitories ! Big terrace

We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The private room was perfect for our family of four, featuring a spacious layout with a large double bed and a cozy bunk bed for the kids. Having our own bathroom was a huge plus, ensuring privacy and convenience. The addition of a fridge allowed us to store snacks and drinks, making our stay even more comfortable. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff were incredibly helpful. Overall, a great place that exceeded our expectations for a family-friendly accommodation! Highly recommended!

Very beautiful hostel, you could pick tomatoes and peppers from the garden which were amazing. All very clean and comfortable. 15min walk from town, 25min bus from the beach.

The female dorm was big with a balcony, windows and AC, sockets near the bed, lockers as well as a bathroom with hair dryer. The room was clean. It was possible to do laundry with an extra cost as it is usual for hostels. There were towels to rent for 2€ only. The outside patio and decor was nice. The owner and cleaning ladies were very friendly. The place was located in a safe calm residential area. It was not in city center but there was a bus station 2 minutes away, a supermarket 2 minutes away and right next to a pizza/bistro open until 23h. For high season the price was good.

Very few bathrooms. The room only had one for 8 women. There were two bathrooms outside which I used when the dorm bathroom was occupied but they were to be shared with people from other dorm. I think a second fridge would be required as it was always full. The kitchen counter could be cleaner. Of course it will depend on the guests, but it could be cleaned with bleach or a degreasing product at least once a day. I think also the couch and chairs with cloth should be vacuumed to avoid insect infestations. The cleaning ladies did a great job but it can be a bit hard to clean when some guests seem to never leave the place so maybe the common area and rooms could be closed for 1h or 2h during the day for cleaning.

Perfect location, rooms and communal areas are absolutely great and staff is very friendly.

Great location for a solo traveler, whether you’re into hiking or simply there for a stop over gap! Cute, friendly, and clean.€2 bus ride from the doorstep to the beach’s and local grocery shops to keep you stocked up.

Staff are kind, location is about 15 min of walking which is fine by me. Interior and exterior are beautiful, so many cute details.

The owners are friendly and the place is nice, clean and tidy... highly recommended

Very cool place to stay. Especially as a solo traveler. 10-15 minute walk from city centre and bus stop a couple minutes down the road.

1 bathroom for 8 people is a bit of a squeeze!

The best thing about the Hostel Art and Joy are the owners Sania and her daughter Marie, they are extremely friendly and accommodating. The shared garden/seating area is very lovely, bright and colourful. Overall the amenities are basic but fair for the room charge. All the guest were nice and respectful and I think that is also a tribute to the owners.

The rooms were a little tired and could do with some modernising, it's a shame that the art theme is only in the communal garden and not throughout the rooms and hostel. There is only one shower for 10 people, which made getting ready in the morning a bit of an effort. The shower door lock was also broken.

Was equipped with a full and functional kitchen, staff was amazing ( shout out to the lady cleaning all the rooms and bathrooms spotless). Free produced grown there for all to take. The girls room was super comfortable with AC
