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.

    This is a true backpacker's hostel. Carlos is a great host. The facilities are great with easy access to the kitchen. Places like this are becoming less common as time goes on. A true gem of a hostel. Muchas Gracias a Carlos!

    It a great place to stay. We came earlier because of our night bus and they let us get in the room earlier and let us stay longer in the hostel after check out because of the next night bus. The owners are really nice, friendly and helpful. The sheets were warm and the room cosy. Even if you have to share toilet and shower the whole place is really clean and not so many travelers at the same time. Breakfast has been the healthiest in a while. Really great place😁
