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.

    As a backpacker and a digital nomad I had the best experience that I could ever dream of. Josh, Charlotte and the wonderful stuff hosted us and took care of all the we needed. the vibe in the hostel is very good and there are many backpackers and nice people. I highly reccomand the place. the facilities are also really really good and the place is brand new.
