The welcome and extra help they gave me. Was supposed to check in at 2 p.m., but they allowed me to get in a bit earlier to freshen up before my actual check-in time, which I liked the most. Thanks Back Packer Style

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.
