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 place was in a great location. The manger was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable with a privacy curtain made for a more relaxing sleep and the bathroom were cleaned well. Definitely one of the cleaner bathrooms ive used at a hostel.
