At Sungate Hostel you will find a 24-hour front desk where staff organises a range of activities and sells tickets to local attractions. Other public areas include a shared kitchen and a shared TV lounge. Services like lockers, luggage storage and laundry can be requested onsite.

What do you expect from a hostel? I have traveled to 35 countries in the world and Onefam Sungate is not a Hostel for me anymore, it is a home. I would like to open a separate parenthesis for Teressa and Gabo. Whatever I asked, both of them helped me without hesitation. with a friendly atmosphere. It was one of the hostels I stayed in in the world. Thank you Teresa and Gabo and the entire Sungate family.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfy, all facilities working perfectly. The hostel is in a great location all round and there’s a really welcoming atmosphere as they arrange lots of group activities and dinners so you feel settled in straight away.
