Insider Tip

All Iron Hostel

All Iron Hostel is a good option for budget travelers who want clean and comfortable rooms at an affordable price. They enforce a quiet time starting at 10 PM, which is nice given that the rooms open into the communal area. Even so, the layout of the hostel means it can get loud at times.

The staff is truly what makes this hostel. The receptionist really goes out of his way to make sure your stay is enjoyable.

The Facilities

Dorms

There are 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 bed dorms that are either co-ed or female only. The rooms are basic but the beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. Guests also get large security lockers where they can store their belongings. There's a charging outlet inside each of the lockers as well.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are clean and there's decent hot water. The light is on a timed switch, which some guests find annoying, but overall the bathrooms are decent.

Common Areas

The dorm rooms open to a large common area where guests can hang out and chat. There's comfortable seating and very basic furnishings. Guests also have access to a full kitchen where they can prepare their own meals.
