Old Town, this hostel has an unbeatable location and great facilities. Though its facade is
that of a former church, the interior is modern and efficient. The dorms are compact but
comfortable with lockers and en suite bathrooms; other highlights include a pool table,
bike shed and, at busy times, cheap meals on offer. Lack of atmosphere can be the only
problem.
