Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The Intercity Bus stop is literally at the door of the hostel, which makes this hostel the best hostel in the entire country. Not to mention clean and neat rooms, no homeless people, and a freaking large cafe that sells all 3 meals for the day.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in. The owner is super nice and helpful, and even sometimes leaves baked goods for the guests! The kitchen is clean and orderly (it even has a dishwasher!), the lounge is very cozy and comfortable. The room had its own bathroom with shower, and towels and shower products were provided. Very social and good atmosphere among the guests. Highly recommend!

    Good location central in the city, and for cheap budgets! Had the amenities you would want (showers and kitchen), allowed late check in and came out for it once understood.

    Great location, fantastic rooms and wonderful atmosphere. It was more like a nice BnB than a backpackers as you were so well looked after and everyone was lovely. The kitchen was perfect, plenty of great bathrooms and toilets so you never had to wait. Comfy beds and not too many beds to a room which was great. I'll definitely be staying again when I return to the area.

    A beautifully presented early 1900’s home. House and garden was pristine. A wonderful host and everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Without doubt the best hostel style accommodation we have stayed in. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!
