The iguana has a proper old school backpacker vibe (was created in the 90s) and I absolutely loved it!

Very secure hostel, staff is very helpful, good laundry service, decent location… though kinda in the back of town on back streets. Very chill hostel during the low season. I can see it being a party hostel for high session.
