About Stephen Center

Stephen Center, beside the New Bazaar, has been a meeting place for travellers for many years. Its café serves American-style burgers, sandwiches, Mexican dishes and hearty breakfasts, good coffee and fresh juices, in a relaxed room where English is spoken by everyone. Upstairs it has simple guest rooms. It is a handy place to plan your trip, ask for local tips and meet other visitors, and the market halls of the New Bazaar are right outside the door for a wander after breakfast.
