Hostel Rab International

Rab Island


This five-room hostel right in the centre of the peninsula features clean bunks in spacious if slightly characterless dorms with crisp linen and spotless bathrooms. Some rooms have pretty harbour views, but there are no cooking facilities. As it's Rab's only true hostel of note, beds fill up fast.
