I LOVE this place, the staff is so nice, everything is well taken care of and clean and they host activities almost every day that give you a chance to get to know some of the lovely people staying in the hostel. I’ve never felt safer while solo travelling, I’m very thankful for the experience I had and the people I‘ve encountered. 🥰🥰 Will definitely return.

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.
