“It’s vintage, not old”. Suntrap hostel it was a pleasure staying in your characterful villa so ideally located in the heart of old town where we could cook up MasterChef meals and people watch from the terrace. Front desk was very helpful and friendly - even letting us keep our bags there after checkout! If you don’t mind a bit of creaking and want bang for your buck, Suntrap is the spot for you. Much obliged, we’ll be back!

Loved my time at Suntrap! The owner was super friendly and a very nice man. You could tell he loves making a home away from home for travelers. The building is older but has a lot of character. I personally loved it. The only thing was the wifi doesn't reach to the bottom room so if you absolutely need wifi in your room, request an upper floor room. For me it pushed me more into the common spaces and to go out more so that even ended up working out. The location of the hostal is also really great being steps away from a great plaza, restaurants, and shops. I would 100% recommend this hostal especially for the price!
