Castaways Backpackers

Cheap and clean

We had such a lovely time here. At first we was a but worried about having a shared bathroom for a week, but i couldn’t have asked for better shared facilities in a hostel. They were always clean, warm and they are spacious enough to get changed in the room. The staff was lovely and always willing to help, the kitchen was well equipped and kept clean. It was a nice level of social, other guest was very friendly and welcoming but people are not up all night making noise. Would most defiantly recommend this place.

It is a little walk out of town. We was happy with this as it meant we got a little more exercise than usual but walking isn’t for everyone. Its only a 20-30 minuet walk depending on where you are going and you can walk along the front for a nice view.

Great communication with the staff for the organisation of a latr check in, room clean and over the expectations!

Friendly and helpful host; big bedroom with ensuite bathroom; 2 kitchens fully equipped (one outside under a porch and one inside); barbeque; living room with screen; laundry room with washing machines and dryers; clotheslines; tour desk; pool table; board games. Close to groceries and restaurants; 10 minutes walk from the esplanade and 20 from the city centre. 10 minutes drive from the airport. Airport shuttle on demand (10 $) and free pick up from train and bus central stations. Not a party hostel, which I've hightly appreciated. Easy to hang out with new people but also easy to sleep during the night. I can only recommend this place.
