A lovely hostel full of charm. The rooms and the kitchen are very clean and well-maintained – even during the ongoing renovations, which the owner is carrying out with great care. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly and always happy to help. What stands out most is the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere – thanks to the great people and the adorable dogs, you feel right at home.

All hostels in Sámara

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.

    Perfect backpackers. Central location. Super friendly owner / staff. Best equipped kitchen of any hostel I've stayed in. Comfortable rooms. Lots of space outside rooms with tables and hammocks. Supermarket 2 mins away. Beach 2 mins away. We loved our stay here. Mum + 2 teens.
