I spent one night at BPM and had a very fun time. There was a 30th birthday celebration and everyone joined in and it turned into a fun party. Ben provided bbq and some booze and guests chipped in too. A very fun time. Breakfast is not being provided right now due to covid which is understandable.

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.

    Everything was amazing here! The number of common areas such as the reading room, movie theatre, games room, pool area with nice seating, and the amount of tables outside under shade to relax and chat. The TV room is open 24/7, the kitchen has food facilities, and the staff are so lovely! The washing line is really decent for the amount of people, and the cleanliness is great. Definitely the best hostel I stayed in after 6 weeks of travelling the East Coast!

    Real backpackers hostel with good spirit by staff and quests. Everybody help and care everyone, me too, even I was much older than the others. I slept very well. I booked own room and got it. It was made for 6 (3 bunk bed) so don’t wait studio style room or bed. Shared toilet and shower room ok.

    Oh my gosh!! Sparkling clean!!! I felt safe (solo female traveler) and I sleep really well. The adjacent room tv was noisy yet the occupant switched it off really early. I would recommend a stop over for those on a budget and quick stopover. With gratitude 🙏🏼
