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.

    The apartment was super comfortable and spacious. Location was very convenient and sound proofing was surprisingly good. I got a full bath which is always rare when staying at a hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful, room service was always impeccable and overall I felt very safe staying there on my own. Also very grateful to have a microwave + fridge + cooktop so I can make my own food.

    The staff were helpful upon check in/out, and the room was clean and an ample size. The pool was great - I swam every morning. Buffet breakfast downstairs was very convenient, and the slightly cheaper offsite parking was a travelling budget helper too.

    Great location. Seems quiet despite the market and location. Travelling on my own, I still felt quite safe walking around Salamca at night. Great restaurants and cafes very close by. Room was simple however clean and well set up.
