"This chic and breezy hotel-hostel offers a variety of dorms and rooms, a great location and an impressive spread of amenities that span a café-bar, a lounge that hosts concerts by local bands, and a gym." Full review

"An unofficial headquarters of backpackerdom and popular local gathering place, KEX is a mega-hostel with heaps of style (think retro Vaudeville meets rodeo) and sociability." Full review
The Guardian "A cheaper option is KEX Hostel (doubles from £125), in a former biscuit factory on the waterfront. There’s a bar on the main floor, where local musicians and DJs play."
