Nest Hostel Lipe

My bunk bed room was clean and reasonably priced, and they even made my bed each day, which is unusual for a hostel. The owner and staff were so friendly. You also get free tea, coffee and biscuits. Highly recommend it.

My friend and I got carbon monoxide poisoning in room 4, which had no windows. We had very severe symptoms and were almost unconscious, then spent the whole night in hospital. We're still recovering and have to go to the hospital each day for oxygen therapy. Please watch out if you're staying in one of the windowless rooms. When we told the owner, she responded coldly and didn't refund the night when we nearly died, only the remaining nights. We obviously couldn't stay there anymore, and since the island is tiny and fully booked, we asked if she knew anywhere else. We were exhausted and hadn't slept all night. She said, “you should probably go to a 5 star hotel,” as if we were spoiled tourists unhappy with the room, rather than people who'd almost been killed by CO poisoning. The whole experience left us shaken and sad.

The hosts were wonderful, and the hostel was clean and quiet. Their laundry service was fantastic, my clothes smelled better than they had in months!

The dorms were a little cramped, but really quiet, which was nice. The common area is small but still good, and both the rooms and bathrooms were nice. The ladies were super friendly. It's on a side street right in the middle of Walking Street.
