"An organised and neat, yet relaxed kind of joint (for those who like relaxing joints), and one that likes to party... You’re a jump away from the cinemas and cappuccino bars of the Musgrave Centre." Full review
"A short walk from the Musgrave Centre, this chilled-out hostel is good for nonsensical conversations at the bar or around the pool. Meals available. Dorms , rooms."
