The frustrating labyrinth of corridors in three contiguous buildings goes on forever, but this lively, well-located place heaves with energy year-round. It attracts a mix of independent travelers, families and groups. Staff are friendly but often harried just trying to keep up with all the comings and goings. It’s usually full in summer, despite having almost 300 beds; book ahead.
Dormitories have between four and 12 beds. Public areas – TV room, theater, outdoor courtyard, kitchen – are large, comfortable and well-equipped.
