    Really liked the qwerky little hostel - yes its up a big hill but you get nice views as a result and its not a hard walk back to the city. The building itself is very cool with lots of communal spaces to hang out. Would recommend.

    Lots of common spaces. A cool old building with lots of character. Guitars and drum set! Good people and good vibes. Reasonably priced and plentiful private rooms of different shapes and sizes.
