Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The fact that it’s at a safe area and close to the beach makes it exceptionally great. The price was also good and the breakfast included was superb.

    I loved the location and safety from outside but they entered our room to clean (though it's not that big of an issue I just wish they informed us they would) after we had left to explore the town for the day.There wasn't no safety deposit box so for obvious reasons I would be skeptical of such a situation but all in all it was not a big issue so yeah Jessma B&B is great value for money in a great location so yeah no complaints loved it.
