iNest Poshtel

iNest Poshtel Overview

You know what caught me off guard about iNest Poshtel? The name sounds a bit gimmicky at first – I mean, “poshtel” feels like someone in marketing got a little too clever combining “posh” and “hostel.” But honestly, once you step inside, it actually makes sense. This three-star spot has figured out something that a lot of places haven’t – how to give you that boutique hotel vibe without the boutique hotel price tag.

The lobby immediately tells you this isn’t your typical budget accommodation. There’s this really thoughtful design aesthetic going on – sort of industrial-chic meets cozy living room, with exposed brick walls and these comfortable seating areas that actually make you want to hang out rather than just rush to your room. I spent a good chunk of my first evening just working on my laptop in one of their common spaces, and the Wi-Fi was surprisingly solid throughout the building. The staff genuinely seems to care about what they’re doing here, which you can tell from little things like how they remember your name after day one and actually give useful local recommendations instead of just pointing you toward the tourist traps.

What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to create private spaces that don’t feel cramped or afterthought-ish. My room was compact, sure, but everything felt intentional – good lighting for reading, enough outlets in the right places, and a bathroom that was actually clean and well-maintained. The beds are comfortable enough that I slept well every night, and the noise levels were reasonable even on weekends. I was a bit worried about potential party crowds given the hostel-adjacent concept, but it attracts more of a young professional and savvy traveler crowd than the backpacker party scene. The 9.0 rating this place pulls makes total sense when you experience it – it’s one of those spots that just gets the basics right while adding enough personality to feel special. If you’re looking for something between a sterile chain hotel and a questionable budget option, this hits that sweet spot where you feel like you’re getting good value without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.

  Al, Fei and the others were truly wonderful hosts. Receptive, kind and helpful at any time. The room was spacious, cosy, apparently new and in a very fresh condition. Lots of complimentary extras: kettle, crockery, snacks, water refills, beach towels. Walkable distance to the beach, restaurants, cafés, doctor offices and 7-11.

• Marissa from Netherlands (9/10)

  10/10 recommend. The poshtels beds are VERY comfortable and the rooms are cleaned with care. We had a lovely three day stay and I only have good things to say about this hotel.

• Krisztina from Hungary (9/10)

  I traveled alone and was in a 4-bed room, which was always full during my 9-day stay.
  The first 6 days were fine, only after that I had 2 roommates who thought that if they came to the accommodation at midnight with a spotlight on for half an hour with bags of sizzling, without regard for the other person.
  The point is, who do you choose as your roommate.  This is not the hotel's fault.
  The bedrooms were cleaned every day with clean towels and bottles of water on each bed. The bedrooms had great air conditioning.
  The bathrooms were also cleaned daily along with the entire hostel.
  I recommend it to everyone, I would come back again anytime.
