This hostel caters to the backpacking fraternity, athough some consider it only second best in terms of atmosphere compared to the Orient. There are single and double rooms as well as mixed-sex dormitories. The whole place has recently been redecorated and the rooms are bright and airy. One of the major drawbacks is that there is only one shower/toilet facility per floor, and therefore not a lot of privacy. There's a restaurant on the top floor and also a computer room with games and videos.
