I had the best time at Ocean - One of the nicest hostels I've been in.As soon as we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome, they're so chilled out and have no problems with anything. They stayed up chatting with us most of the night and even joined us for a drink or two (they have no objection with you bringing alcohol in)The rooms are really well sized!! Loads of space and the majority of them are en-suite (bar one or two - but there are sufficient shower rooms elsewhere).Lots of toilet facilities around the hostelThey hoover the rooms after every visit and they hoover and clean the communal areas often.The kitchen is ALWAYS clean and there is lots of space for everything. Breakfast is provided and its always reasonable.There is a TV and XBox in the lounge, and free wi-fi. Lots of chilling out space.There is a dry room aswell.Right next to corner shop and fish and chip shopWe took approx 25 members of our uni Surf Club there and it was perfect to chill out in the evenings - we never left the place!!The only downside is that you have to drive to find reasonable surf, but thats not a problem because there is PLENTY of parking space beside and behind the hostel.
