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 staff made me feel so welcome, and they clean the rooms every day, even in the off season. The amenities are all functional, and the beds are comfortable. This is a great location, and I felt really safe at this hostel as a solo female traveller.

Massive shout-out to the cleaner, Paula who is so lovely and will go out her way to help you with anything despite language barriers! The hostel is very central and is decent if you need a cheap stay. There are sockets by the beds.

Very kind staff, big bathroom, upgrade in the 8-beds dormitory and even, as I was there for the second time, the best bed ! Very quiet, as it is not a youth hostel.
