Quick read

Cons: Simple furnishings. Somewhat cramped.

The hostel

The pension/hostel combo has accommodation for every age and budget, from 16-bed dorms to two-room apartments. Furnishings are basic: Think simple wooden bed frames and a wardrobe. Brightly-colored curtains give the rooms a bit of a spark, and black and white photos adorn the otherwise white walls.

Some dorms with beds lined up end to end can feel a bit cramped. Apartments have private bathrooms and kitchenettes. (The Traveller's also provides a shared kitchen to all guests.)

Most guestrooms have shared bathrooms, but some singles and doubles have private showers. Bathrooms boast some spiffy green tiling, while private showers aren't as fancy. (We can imagine a line forming for the showers during peak hours.)

The Traveller's breakfast room doubles as a bar and is filled with rickety wooden tables and chairs, a foosball table, and an old jukebox. It's a laidback scene, but ready to party, especially in high season.
