A branch of flashpacker hostel 5Footway.Inn, occupying three locations in buzzing Chinatown. Concrete floors, iMac computers and colourful art keep things looking cool, though the scuffed walls could use some paint. Rooms are comfy, though small (book a window room if you want natural light), with a female-only dorm available, as well as a small terrace for al fresco downtime.
