It was super comfortable, the little bunks had everything you need and the whole place was spotlessly clean! But the woman who runs the hostel was the highlight - she was incredibly friendly and gave me lots of great recommendations for where to eat in Georgetown.

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.
