Hostal El Tajibo

Amazon Basin


One of Trinidad’s better-value budget options, this hotel has attractive, almost-stylish rooms and comfortable beds. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the street and breakfast is included with air-con rooms. New mattresses are a bonus, but the joint could use a coat of paint.

Nearby Hotel Colonial is run by the same owners but is a step up with a pool.
