Jodanga Backpackers Hostel

Top choice in Santa Cruz


This superbly equipped hostel has a pool, pool table and seriously groovy, air-conditioned rooms, as well as a party atmosphere inspired by its own bar. A quieter complex across the road houses three well-appointed rooms (with private bathroom) in converted shipping containers. Jodanga is near Parque Urbano in a leafy neighborhood, a 25-minute walk from the city center.

The hostel also organizes great-value Spanish classes from B$80 per hour.
