Recommendation for your group

Hostel private room often beats budget hotels on price and includes kitchen/social access — compare the gap for this city.

Budget hotel wins when you want reliable AC, en-suite bathroom, and housekeeping without spending too much.

Mid-range hotel is worth comparing when breakfast, location, and cancellation terms beat a cheaper room on paper.
