Our stay was ok, we paid a lot more than the other hostels but don't feel like we got anything more for the value. It's a nice hostel, dude to the rain we couldn't use the pool. The breakfast area stank of booze in the morning which was quite off putting.

Selina has many activities and it’s fun to stay there. The staff is amazing. It’s safe but it’s not quiet because it’s not supposed to be quiet. I liked my stay. Will stay again.

The staff were amazing, they offered so many activities, it had such a relaxed and fun atmosphere, only complaint was the night time security guy was a little uptight. But all in all, an amzing experience, would definitely stay there again, and even i stayed somewhere else id have to stop by to say hi to the staff.

This is one of best hostels / hotels I’ve ever stayed at!
I‘ve stayed here a few times and I’m always surprised at just how down to earth, friendly and accommodating the staff are here. Amazingly friendly and always make me feel at home.

Selina is nice, but there is a clear line between the backpacking traveler and the budget-aware traveler. I think Selina tries to accommodate both but it’s clear it attracts the backpacker more than the budget-aware. The common spaces are cute and quirky, but again it’s quite a young crowd that gathers in the bar in the evenings. I did have a chance to take a yoga class, it’s nice that this is an offering but the outdoor yoga space is right next to the kitchen which is also open air and the people cooking their breakfast were not mindful of their noise and speaking levels at all. Overall it was a decent stay and served its purpose - that being a cost efficient place to stay while we finalized some wedding decisions.

The property is great, but the main thing that really took away from the experience was the loud pop music, from 9am to 10pm everyday, wherever you are on the property. Yoga room? Pop music. In your private room? Pop music.

I liked the convenient location, however the staff was not welcoming. They seemed indifferent and didn’t seem to care for guests needs. They said they will give welcome drink after arrival at 6 pm but went late by 20 minutes and said it is not available anymore. After arguing with them they finally gave me one. The facilities are ok but the staff needs to be more welcoming.

Social backpackers’ paradise
The hostel plays loud music throughout the property until ~9 to 11PM. Now I see this is mentioned in reviews going back for years.
If you are looking for an extroverted backpacker scene, this is absolutely the spot for you! People come to Selina to hang out and socialize. However we booked a private room because we need good sleep, but unfortunately there is no noise insulation from the loud music and other people around (woken up by someone throwing up in the nearby shared bathroom).
