I loved the fact that we were basically left to it, it was like living in a shared apartment. The kitchen was great and the view as well over the city was lovely. Shared bathroom facilities were clean and good quality and the beds were comfy. Not far from the beach and city center as well.

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.
