The hostel is gorgeous inside!! +++ 5 min from bus station, right across the street from a large fresh outdoor produce market, cafes and a large grocery store to buy ready made meals. It’s a 5 minute walk to the harbour and the Old town is so close. Tom and Maria are wonderful - Brand New Management. There’s electric kettles, a fridge, bowls and cups with coffee and tea. Rain showers! Good pressure hot water. Everything you’d get in a first class hotel, but without the high costs! Dorm rooms are spacious. Plugs for cell phones and computers right on the long tables in every dorm. Good Internet connection. And did I say the hostel is beautiful inside?

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.
