Pousada de Juventude de Cheoc Van

Macau


This government-run, beachside hostel is excellent value, but conditions apply. You'll need to be between 15 and 45 years of age, book at least eight days in advance and own an International Youth Card, International Youth Hostel Card or similarly affiliated organisation. Don't expect much of a social vibe – most of the guests here are local or Chinese school groups.

Priority will be given to guests of the Education and Youth Bureau in July and August.
