A month ago my little grandson and I spent almost a week there. We liked it a lot. - Breakfast was varied and dinner was also well stocked with a well-filled salad buffet, various warm meals (also for vegans), dessert and drinks. You could pack whatever you wanted for a packed lunch tomorrow and there were also small packets of biscuits or waffles. - Rooms were okay. Even though we only had one washing facility in the room itself, the path to the toilets and individually lockable shower rooms was only a few steps across the hallway. Everything was clean. - The outdoor area of ​​the youth hostel is a bit old and we were missing some grass or a few chairs/loungers. Unfortunately the slide was broken. - But the children still had fun and could borrow games/balls etc. at the reception at any time. - The location of the house is great! Just a few minutes and you're on the beach! (You have to cross a street on the way there, but that wasn't a problem at all.) - We would also like to thank you for the friendly service from reception and the kitchen staff, who were always helpful with requests and questions and had an open ear.

The only positive thing was the location of the youth hostel. Almost all of the children had their pocket money stolen from their rooms.Muslim or vegetarian children were not catered for, no casserole, no pizza without pork and no alternative was provided.

The dinner was inedible, more reminiscent of prison… the breakfast was OK, very minimalistic but OK.The staff was very, very unfriendly and even aggressive in their behavior and interactions. In addition, there is always a point to be looked for (and found) to complain about.-NEVER AGAIN

The youth hostel is ok and easy to reach. A garden behind the house. You can arrange breakfast, lunch, dinner.You can also visit a restaurant called Beach Robbers or go to the pizzeria, which is just a 15-minute walk from the hostel. Across the street from the hostel you go directly to the beach. Nice to watch the sunset and take a walk in the mudflats. Staff was super friendly. So the hostel is ok overall and can be recommended.
