Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect stay - Very clean place Staff is awsome Simple check in/out
- Timothy (8/5): Quiet, economical, but not near town center - This hostel is great for budget travellers. Nice bedding, plenty of hot water, some wifi and at least our unit included a small kitchenette. The establishment is located about a mile from the city center and for those who don't mind walking, it takes about 25 mins. The local neighborhood felt very safe to walk through. For those who want to ride to and from town, for $1.50, taxis are easily to find almost any time of day. One advantage to being located out from the town center was little traffic and other noises. One disadvantage, if you're on an early morning day cruise, is getting up around 6am.
- Marisa (4/5): Don't do it - Far from town, not very comfortable, room wasn't serviced, breakfast was barely passable. We got one small, rough towel for a room with capacity for three people, the room was LOUD and on the ground floor so we could hear everyone coming and going at all hours, the room wasn't serviced the entire time we were there (3 nights), and we ran out of things like soap and clean towel (singular). The location was far from town and pretty inconvenient.
- jan (8/5): Very clean, nice hosts, decent breakfast. - A good place to stay for the price, it is a 15 minute walk from the main port and restaurants. The neighbourhood is safe, and there are plenty of taxis always driving by all hours of the day/night. A small grocery store is located on the same street, handy for lunch/ snacks. Taxi cost is about $2 to the Main Street if you don’t want to walk. Hostel is very clean. Kitchenette was handy.
- Jean Baptiste (6/5): - Comfy bed and clean bedroom. Good location. Very weak Wifi connection. Basic breakfast. Last but not least: very strange hospitality as it looks like the couple managing the hostel is not in good terms.
