I think it’s great that the stay included breakfast, while simple it is definitely filling. The best part of the stay has got to be the staff itself and here, I would like to commend Maria for the care given to me especially when I unfortunately fell ill. She not only regularly checked on my comfort and condition but also offered sound advice. One of my best stays for sure.

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.
