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.

    Super cheap, great location for Silver Sands and it felt safe and secure. It had a definite Prisoner Cell Block H vibe to it 😄

    Great location, across the street from the train station. Very clean, for a hostel. Also, Chavdar who checked me in is very knowleadgeable of the area and a good host. Very good value for money, great for a one or two night stay. Oh, almost forgot about the good quality mattresses :)

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Room was comfortable with bedding provided. Bathrooms well equipped and clean. Location is perfect less than 5 minutes walk from the main car park, ferry terminal and railway station. The host was also very helpful with information about where we could eat, drink and go for local walks.
