The best option for migrating backpackers, 13 Lunas is situated directly opposite the main bus terminal. Owner Claudio and his multicultural staff are young, enthusiastic and speak English, while the hostel itself oozes coziness with bright hardwoods, plenty of natural light, hotel-standard bathrooms, a grassy lawn and a wonderful terrace with views. Solar-heated water and active recycling give it an eco-edge.
Avoid the less-atmospheric basement rooms if possible.
