I was looking for a budget option while backpacking in Reunion Island and I decided to stay in the capital city, Saint Denis. This was part of a tour where I backpack The European Union in Africa!

Logistically Saint Denis was perfect as it’s only a 25 minute drive from the airport. On this particular jaunt to the Indian Ocean, I’d need to pass through Roland Garros International Airport 3 times so I went for a handy stay here at The Kaz Hotel. The hotel is blue and white and occupies a prominent corner on the edge of the city centre of Sainty D (Saint-Denis).

I usually love to go backpacker loyal in hostel dorms however a Google search showed that Reunion Island doesn’t really have hostels, in the traditional backpacker sense!! Then I found out that Kaz Hotel has an 8 bed dorm room which we can share and so I booked it. I was in the main dorm which has 8 beds and I was in the top bunk on the left.

We had an ensuite and free fast Wi-Fi. Backpacking in Africa and on remote islands normally means we have grey screens, press refresh and get infuriated that the Wi-Fi don’t work. Here, no issues!

Location wise, it’s also great as you can backpack right through the city from here. Here are a few photos from the city of Saint Denis. I hope to write about the top sights and top bars too.

In my 8-bed dorm, I first shared with Moussy from Mayotte and this was great as she was the first ever person I have met from Mayotte. She was even surprised I had heard of it! I was just a bit upset I couldn’t tell her I have backpacked it yet. It’s on my list, along with Comoros. It’s always very RARE for me to meet someone from a country I haven’t been to…

Moussy and I were going to grab a drink on the Sunday night but she wanted to sleep early and I wanted to party and pub crawl until 2 a.m. Also in my room were a Spanish couple and a French lady. Coffee is available and there’s a kitchen too.

My dorm room also had air conditioning and there are many other rooms to choose including private rooms of course. This was the price list in May 2023 –

It’s a family run business and I met the owners Remeez and Raza who are friendly and welcoming.

Remeez and Raza were surprised about my long-term global travels and the boss even gave me a lift to the bus station the day I backpacked to Saint Gilles.
