"Converted from a nineteenthcentury hotel, this award-winning hostel has light, spacious rooms, dorms (4-, 6- and 12-bed) and an attached guesthouse with private rooms."
"It doesn’t look like much externally, but this converted pub (the old Orient Hotel) strikes the right balance between party and placid. There are spacious dorms and an additional no-frills guesthouse." Full review
