For travellers on a budget, especially if travelling alone, Celica Youth Hostel is a great place to stay. Not the cheapest of the city's youth hostels, but unique in being an old renovated prison. The cheapest room is in a domitory in which the accommodation is basic, but free internet access, a good bar, breakfast, linen and towels included, access to a small kitchen and laid-back atmosphere make up for this. It's also only 10 minutes walk for the station and 20 from the city.

This was fantastic accommodation for the cost, offering a good breakfast, set lunches with a great salad bar and lots of art and live bands in the evening. It was really friendly, clean and well-located.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
