'Angela's' new home is a modern building -- clean, airy, bright and secure. It features seven private rooms, each with two double-beds (four people) and ensuite bath; most have balconies. There are also two, four-bed (five people) mixed dorms and a communal kitchen.

We get lots of European backpackers, loads of Aussies (look for the surfboard), Canadian and US travellers/exchange students, retired boomers finally travelling again after all those years and Mexican couples, sometimes with kids.

Reception is open 24 hours.

Accommodation type: Hostel
Prices from around $7
