Basic and old hostel. Cleanliness and service could be improved

The hostel is in the center of Westport around 40minutes walk from the beach. They offer surf classes and pizzas. There are plenty of common areas but the rules of quiet times are not respected so it is basically a party hostel with loud music and people drinking all the night. Didnt sleep.
