You'd be hard pressed to find a hostel with a better location than Parklife's – it's attached to the cathedral wall. The common areas are a blend of chandeliers, antique furniture and colorful cushions. It's a sociable place, but not without its drawbacks: some rooms only have internal windows (thus little ventilation) and the bathrooms and kitchen could be cleaner.
