The bathrooms were also clean and there are multiple so it's not a big problem to share. Amazing outdoor Shower. Easy check-out if you leave early to take a flight.

Dreamtime is an award winning hostel with a difference. We offer travellers a safe, peaceful & cosy place to stay. We are not a party hostel.

As we are a small, independent hostel, our reception is open from 9.00am - 5.00pm. I liked the vibe and atmosphere. It is a relaxed and chill hostel but you still get in contact with other travelers (international and Aussis). Tim, the owner, is cool and he will react on any questions and find good solutions which will fit everyone. The beds are comfortable and they have a big kitchen equipment. You can wash and try your laundry. The common areas inside and outside are big and cozy and the pool is big enough for a group of people. There are plenty of toilets and showers (all separate) so you never stay in line. You can also book tours with them. I enjoyed my stay so much that I came back again and extended my stay.

At the hostel, rooms include a terrace with a garden view. With a shared bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Tequila Sunrise Podstel also boast a city view. The rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Both breakfast and dinner was included, and both were of very nice quality, especially when you consider the price. For breakfast there always were pancakes available (including other stuff). For dinner, we had curries, pastas, burritos and always you had the option to choose vegetarian or with meat. The personnel was very friendly too.

Sab, was amazing, I had missed the wine and cheese session, but he got us some more cheese and gave us some wine that hadn't been finished. He was amazing during my visit and would make me want to go back to that hostel.
