Hostal Backpackers Paradise - Hostel

David, the new manager, is a great guy and treats you like a brother. The building is old, but clean, with hot showers, a well-equipped kitchen, and decent beds. The maid does an excellent job of keeping everything clean. It costs 10,000 pesos per night for a bed, and there are no private rooms. This is the best and cheapest hostel in town. Ignore the old reviews, since David is a new manager.

The owners and their son made us feel so welcome, with a really laid-back approach. The atmosphere is great, and people are always up for socializing. It’s definitely the place if you’re traveling alone or want to meet people and share stories over a beer.

David, the new owner of Backpackers Paradise, has been so kind and welcoming. I really recommend this hostel. It’s an old building, but renovations over the past year have made it very nice. I like cooking my own food as a backpacker, so the shared kitchen, fully stocked with spices, was a huge plus.

The location is handy, but I wouldn't come back. The rooms sit right beside the kitchen and common room, and there's no quiet-time management. People ran up and down the hall, singing and playing music until 2am. Fine if you're after a party, but I wouldn't recommend it if you need a good night's sleep.
