Hey hey, this place is RAD! A little out of town yeah, but within walking distance to the market and a convenience store. Cabs everywhere are generally a set price and let's face it nothing is too expensive. The hostel itself has an awesome atmosphere, a great pool, and awesomely friendly staff that made our visit all that more pleasant.... More

We thought this place was great. Pool, pool table, ping pong, a bar, dinner options each night, very friendly staff, very cheap, we had a fantastic time. It probably isn´t the quietest hostel in the world but it certainly had a very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. We stayed 5 days longer than expected. The closest beach is about a 15 minute... More

This place was fantastic, big room for a cheap price.Small pool in the back, hammocks, pool table. A short walk to the great Carrizalillo Beach. This is the place to come to meet other likeminded backpackers, a really great bar scene every night. This is the way a Hostel should be run, none of the sterile hotel type atmospheres! If... More

This place is really fun-you come here for the atmosphere. There are places closer to Zicatela and a short walk to the beach, like the Mayflower. I stayed at both, and definitely preferred Tower Bridge. Just know it's not a hop skip and a jump to the beach. So if you don't have people to share taxis with (which are... More

The hostel has some of the finest lounging area ever. Hammocks evreywhere, pool, ping pong and pool tables, darts and mega jenga. There is a bar in the hostel which is superbly ran by Suga. Made for some pretty crazy nights when I stayed. There arent really quiet hours so it can be really hard to go to bed early,... More

We arrived late, still had a bed in the dorms. Stayed in the girls dorms, a little stuffy at night. Steve the owner was really friendly and nice. I liked the place, nice pool, bar area, lush plants and hammocks. Every night was a party and there were tons of Ausies that took over the place, not sure if its... More

We had looked at previous reviews before coming here and were seriously worried about what to expect, but I think some people are unduly harsh. We paid just £5 each and had our own private bungalow in the lovely 'rainforest' setting the Tower Bridge hostel provides. Steve is a great character, and from England which helps a great deal when... More

Our shower exploded, literally set on fire which is... unexpectedly ironic... The guy in charge at the time was the owners brother was a very nice guy but never seemed to be around. Room would not lock and all the lights were hanging out of the walls. however its very very laid back and we got a great size room... More

After a long-hard trip over from Oaxaca and feeling rubbish I really hoped this hostel would be nice having seen the reviews on Hostelbookers it seemed ok. It was just that...ok but could have been better. Steve the owner was a nice guy but chaotic, perhaps fuelled by his penchant for stong drinks throughout the day and all night lol... More
