    The location was sublime in the heart of town close to everything nearby. Family run and it shows. This is a smaller property but everything was very accommodating. My friend and I got individual solo runs and our stay was great. The town does...

    The location was close to anything you may need and felt safe. There was a fridge to store leftovers and a kitchen to cook your own breakfast. The family vibe of the hostel was comforting and relaxing.

    The property was quiet and clean. Manolo (the owner) provided us with a ride to the airport, even though we had an early flight, which was greatly appreciated! He was easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
