HOSTELS
Hostels can offer savings as well as a sociable vibe, but there are, relatively speaking,
limited options in the city - at least that fit the bill in terms of quality and prime loca-
tion. Wherever the case, book ahead: reservations are usually essential. Rates for singles
range from $40 to $70 and doubles cost from $80 to $150.
