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 location Great amentities Overall the place needs some TLC, but the beds were super comfy, everything was clean and the wifi worked great for working. They have all the amenities, coffee maker, microwave, fridge, iron hairdryer - ideal for a business event on the go. The pool was VERY clean and overall felt very safe and secure in the location. Breakfast was basic, but still variety in waffles with syrup, oats, cereals, yogurts, fruit, toast etc.
