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.

    The hosts are so helpful and friendly! They made me feel right at home and as soon as I arrived, helped me get a SIM, advised where to eat and shared recommendations for places to visit. They provided free refills of water and toilet paper. There was warm water in the shower. The dorms are really dark, so are good for sleeping. It's quite a social hostel thanks to the hosts and they have a rooftop bar. The hostel is next to lots of restaurants, a mall, cheap laundry and it's easy to book move it to/from here.

    The apartment feels a bit dated, its not as bright as the pictures, It's ok if on a budget. Location is great, the area is quiet and very safe, there is security everywhere, it's close to the Airport, Mall and Casino, alot of eating places in the area. Only a short taxidrive away from other places to explore. It's good value for the price. But don't expect something modern.

The road to the hostel may seem a bit sketchy but you’ll be perfectly fine once arriving. The shower and toilet are maybe a bit small but it’s clean.
