Culebra
Once an auto-parts shop, this rambling hostel offers two spacious dorms (including one female-only) with good bunk beds and air-con. There's a simple kitchen and lots of outdoor seating, mostly in a wild garden of potted plants (over 350 at last count). Expat manager Tommy often cooks dinner for guests, served family-style.
Located on Dewey's outskirts, just down the road from Colmado Milka.
