Located in the Pietermaai District in Willemstad, Bed & Bike Curacao provides private and shared dorm rooms, bicycle rental, and free WiFi.

LOCATION WAS 15 MINUTES WALK FROM THE FLOATING BRIDGE (CITY CENTER). STAFF WERE OKAY, BUT BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING (LOCKS, ADAPTORS, NOTHING IS FREE, YOU CANT BORROW THEM) FACILITIES OKAY

Located in Willemstad, a 12-minute walk from Playa Marichi, The Ritz Hostel has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace.

As a budget traveler I find Ritz the most affordable, close to Punda and Otrananda (the bus terminals) from here you can take the bus to go to at least 5, 6 public beaches. The room was super clean, the bedsheets are all white, towels as well, cleaned professionally. The bathrooms and kitchens are a bit old, but cleaned daily (just people leave trash and don't clean after themselves). The staff is very friendly and attentive. The bar, restaurant and pool are amazing! You get a welcome drink at the check in. I loved everything about this place, I don't understand why it has such a low score on booking. I repeat, the room was clean, with 2 beds, perfect to rest ( this was the most important to me). Also they have a mini market ( pricey but just in case you need something quick). And I think they can prepare a small breakfast there as well. Overall satisfied, great value!!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great place, staff are fantastic. Pool is excellent. Walking distance to Jan Thiel beach and all it's shops, cafes, bars & restaurants. Walking distance to Tug boat beach and a lovely area fir snorkelling with a great bar. Bus into town (Willelmstad) easy and cheap. Use the ABC bus app only, all other information/timetables are incorrect. Bed and Bike have 3 hostels around the island. My advice - try all three. Very good & reasonable laundry service close by.

    Among the cheapest stays I was able to find, the unit had what we needed, two rooms a kitchen and a bathroom and air conditioning, there was parking in front of the room, generally speaking a safe neighborhood. Erminda who was our host was incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind, we had wifi and all the basic things needed.

    Maybe I just had a bad experience so the good things about this property are minimal. Affordable rates, hot water, in a secured and safe location. Renting a car from the property was cheap, but you must pay for insurance. Photos of the studio are mostly accurate. The hostess Deborah was nice and took care of the needs I had, but the problem was that they should have already been taken care of before arrival.

    It’s the best budget option for accommodation on Curaçao. The hostel is very beautiful and clean, the dorm with 16 beds didn’t actually feel like a dorm because it’s more like a cabin style with lots of privacy. It’s also very near to everything.
