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.

    The host was amazing and was able to give us amazing recommendations on what to do and see in the area. The room and entire homestay was spotless and the room had everything we needed. The place weas very secure so we felt super safe and taken care of. We also really loved the on-site water purification system which was a cheap and sustainable way to access drinking water during our stay.

    Classy revamp carefully and tastefully executed. Staff always on hand but not intrusive. I extended my stay simply to enjoy the room and the great location. Felt safe and valued as a guest. Certainly a stand out and well worth checking in.

    Centrally located budget hostel paired with a cafe that has board games and books. They provided a free breakfast. The cafe had comfortable seating, however the beds could be more comfortable. Very good options around for dining.
