"An extremely laid-back little hostel featuring four-bed dorms and OK kitchen and lounge areas. It’s a short walk uphill from the center." Full review

"Slightly rickety backpacker stronghold, this is a basic but essentially good option for budget travellers. Dorms... and double rooms (4) are available, as is excellent information on local excursions."
