Insider Tip

Patio 19

This quirky little hostel (or bed and breakfast as it's sometimes called) has a fun interior and a great location. The hostel is filled with interesting antiques and the atmosphere is very quaint. The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of places to shop and eat, and it's still walking distance to the beach. The rooms are a bit basic, but they're comfortable, and the staff are friendly and fun.

The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has one nine bed dorm, or eight bed dorm, one six bed dorm, and a four bed dorm. Guests are given small lockers and the beds are relatively comfortable. There's a fan that keeps things cool in the summer. Some of the rooms have their own balconies or a window that offers natural light, but others are interior and are more compact.

Private Rooms

There are also plenty of private rooms available here if you want a budget room with your own personal space. The rooms are either doubles or triples and most use shared bathrooms. They're nicely furnished with simple furniture and are a step above the dorm rooms in quality.

Bathrooms

Most rooms use shared bathrooms here, but there are some private rooms with their own private bathrooms. They're kept clean but sometimes the water and get everywhere. It's really not a big problem though.

Common Areas

This hostel has some decent common areas including and on-site bar, a patio where you can enjoy the refreshing outdoors, a kitchen where you can cook your own meals, and a dining area where you can eat and chat with other guests. Like the rest of the hostel, the decor is very charming and it feels a bit like you stepped into an antique museum.
