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.

    Mulgrave Lodge is a good place to stay, especially on a budget. Its about 40 min from the city center on public transportation, and taking the public transportation was very easy and accessible. The room was clean, warm, and safe. The area is really pretty and seemed quiet and safe. The shared bathroom was fine, and large bottles of toiletries are provided. As a college student traveling with friends it was great for one night. (Check on the near by farmers market on Sunday mornings too!)
