Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
