The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Home-Cooked Meals

I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options at Dougies. The home-cooked meals were not only affordable-most under $10-but also absolutely delicious. One evening, I had what might be the best roast of my life! It's a fantastic way to enjoy a meal with fellow guests, fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Comfortable and Spacious Accommodations

During my stay, I enjoyed a double room that was surprisingly spacious for a backpackers' hostel. It featured a mini-fridge, fan, and air conditioning, ensuring I stayed cool during the hot summer days. The room was clean and provided a comfortable retreat after a long day of exploring.
