Soul Kitchen blends boho hipness and boutique-hotel comfort, scoring perfect 10s in many key categories: private rooms (chic), dorm beds (double-width with privacy curtains), common areas and kitchen (all beautifully designed). The lounge is a fine place to hang out, with a record player, a big-screen projector (for movie nights) and an artful design.
There is also bike hire, table football, free Macs to use, a toy chest for kids, free international phone calls and stunning Moyka views from a communal balcony. The hostel enforces a two-day minimum stay policy. Prices triple in the high season.
