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 breakfast was easy but ok. -Free coffee to refill during breakfast -A couple of sockets in the dorm -a lot of showers -there are two bus stops left and right in front of the hostel which will bring you super cheap to the airport, the city center and the beaches -there is a nice river close to the hostel -the locker in the room comes with a lock and key, so no need to bring one by yourself 👍🏻

    Great location in center, bus stop for leaving across street.The 12 bed mixed dorm is cubicles, which I like for privacy but you don't talk to the other travellers in your room as you don't even see them. A/C on at night was comfortable.Kitchen had enough for basic cooking but wouldn't want to be here when hostel was full as it might not be enough.

    Great location! Nice pool, cute lobby sitting area. No safe in room, instead they have a large storage room with personal safes. Good cable, fairly decent wifi. Most staff really helpful and welcoming. Beach towels for a deposit. We booked a value windowless room and received a room with a window on the 1st floor instead.

    Great location, a lot of stores and restaurants close by. You can eat inside, go to food courts exactly across the street or try any of the restaurants. Great beach experience, even when there were huge waves 100 meters both directions from our hotel, we could always go for a swim on our beach - seems like the waves somehow subside in that place. We had nice mini-kitchen in the room and it helped us safe on our breakfasts a lot.

    Great location by the Marina. That is was safe and secure. I was expecting a ground floor unit and it was not that. Right size of accommodations for a single person

    If you like a bohemian vibe and are traveling on a budget, then this is the perfect place. I stayed in a female dormitory with 4 bunk beds, but the room was very spacious and not stuffy at all - I liked it. The owner and his dog are very friendly, relaxed, and easygoing.

    Location Location Location 3 min walk to the Malecon and Beach. It was clean but nothing fancy. Very generic Hostal with a clean bed and shower . If you are on a budget, this is the place to stay. Clean, safe and cheap.
