Nice hostel with chilled vibes close to the beach. Close by are many restaurants. Comfortable beds with curtains and just four beds in one room so it is relatively quiet.

I had an amazing time staying at the CU Hostel, the host is welcoming and very helpful. I met a few fellow travellers as well, and had a great conversation. The location is perfect and 1-2 mins walk from the beach and all the famous eateries. Would definitely recommend and come back again. :)
