Same owners of GardenHouse hostel (a small homey place) have created an arty, funky, colourful and friendly hostel. Huge and cool rooms, decorated by different artists, the friendliest staff and a wide range of extra services such as high speed wifi all over the house (it's a big mansion!), free towels, a large and limitless breakfast, etc.
Location is also great, just five minutes' walk from everything. A secret spot in the city, aimed at independent hip travellers.

Best backpacking hostel in town run by friendly owners. Clean rooms, fab showers, quick internet connection, great ambiance. Very laid back. Lazy sofas, bar and pool table too! Lots of activity taking place in the evening. There is a buzz and great place to meet other travellers and locals.
