Don't be put off by the exterior; this is a sparkling hostel right in the city centre with a

Not the right choice if you want an intimate place to propose: there are 293 rooms here,
making it the largest hotel in the city. That said, the aesthetically revamped rooms are
bright, airy and contemporary with massive black-and-white photos (with a music theme)
covering an entire wall. The facilities are excellent and include a gym.
