"Large and central YHA with seven floors of mostly twin and double rooms – the upper ones with fine city views – plus well-equipped common areas."
Frommer's
"One of the best hostels in the country and hosts over 50,000 guests a year. Its rooms, while spartan are meticulously clean, as is the communal kitchen, which is large enough to handle multiple guests" Full review
