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.

Great location everything I wanted to do was walkable. Staff are extremely friendly and approachable and also very helpful. The free hostel breakfast is definitely one of the best hostel breakfasts I’ve ever encountered. It’s also a very social hostel with activities on most nights that are easy to access and super fun, as a solo traveller this was awesome! The rooms are spacious with secure crates to keep your stuff + privacy curtains were appreciated. Bathrooms are clean and numerous.

It’s a great location and the best hostel I’ve stayed in for a while. The room was pretty good and the breakfast provided and the kitchen facilities were great. The staff were amazing as always and very accommodating and kind.
