It was everything we needed, with friendly English speaking staff, comfy beds, fantastic modern bathroom and a communal kitchen and lounge in the basement where you could chat and eat with other guests.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22831 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22831 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21175 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21175 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21124 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21124 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20287
If you prefer to have your own bathroom there are a lot of hostels which offer rooms with private bathrooms and toilets.

Also, to save even more, look for accommodation not directly in the city centre.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20287 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20136 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20136 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12171
We stayed there in February (a very cold month) but in our room the central heating was on all the time, and the water is warm and good.

There was even a colour TV with many channels (not that we had time to watch). When we returned in the evenings, the bed was made and the garbage was emptied.

Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12171 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9493
Best of all, the staff were really relaxed - no packing up the breakfast at 5 past 10, it just kind of sat there until everyone had had their fill. There's also safety deposit boxes at reception and a cage to put your luggage in after you've checked out. Five minute walk to old town square, supermarket round the corner (you can also cook at the hostel) and clubs, bars etc all within easy walking distance.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9493 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5587
If you think a hostel means grubby beds, grubbier people and grubby amenities then think again. Showerheads the size of dinner plates, crisp white bedlinen, polished wooden floors, an 'all you can eat' buffet breakfast, decent coffee, brilliant bar area, free internet and expert advice all contribute to what makes this place rock. They will also arrange transfers and walks for you.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5587 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4987 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4987 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3119 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3119
