Cheap, with towel, shampoo and duvet, Nice location, with public bycicle station at the same block, Quiet, not close to any club, also not that kind of pool DJ party vibe, they got large table at balcony, people gathering around after sunset, chatting having snacks and playing music together, super chill and friendly Honestly thats all what I am asking from a hostel, it will be my only stay in pdc

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

Great location, comfortable and secluded cubicle beds, air-conditioned at night, great common areas, and a good kitchen. Jose is a star and makes your stay comfortable and memorable. I hate this word but Hostel Tropico 20 has a 'vibe'. It is not a party hostel but manages to get a great sense of community. Highly recommended.

Nice clean and cheap hostel. The staff were really friendly and I felt very safe in this hostel with 24/7 reception. The beds were comfy and I liked the capsule design.

Great location, 10 min walk from the main street and beaches, close to shops and bus stations. They have a cold water machine you can use at any time to refill your water for free. Aircon in the room although on only during the night. Wifi works great. There’s LOADS of space in the room to put your stuff, get ready, charge phones, etc. Great vibes from other travellers as well, one of few hostels in Playa that has female-only dorms.
