The organisation in the rooms. I LOVED that that shower and the toilet were separate, and the sink was in the room itself. We did not have to que for the bathroom as each of us in the room could do our own thing. Beds had a really high ceiling. Extremely comfortable, with a night light and a curtain. The facilities and the room were cleaned daily and everything was exceptional

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.
