Great location. Staff were very helpful in scheduling taxis to and from airport. Everything was as expected. The only issue was that there was a smell of sewage in both our rooms.

Quiet, Clean Hostel

Nice clean, comfy hostel to stay in. Lacks any sort of social scene or activities however- not a place to meet people if you are a solo traveler. But a very quiet hostel to stay and get some rest if that’s what you’re looking for. No breakfast/food offered but there’s a small communal kitchen. Up on a bit of a steep hill with lots of steps (cars have a hard time dropping people off here too because it’s one way). Nevertheless, it’s a quick walk to the old center.

Watch out for the charges at check-in!

While checking in the guy informs me it will be 5% extra to use a credit card & shows me in a calculator how much in local (Sols) it will be...$404. Then after I swipe the card, turns out he added an extra $20; total $424 No hot water the 1st night.
