1322 Backpackers International

This hostel is a welcoming retreat, where travellers congregate around a backyard pool and a buzzing little bar. You can stay in neat three- to eight-bed dorms, or smallish, converted wood-and-brick sheds at the bottom of the garden (chilly in winter, a bit stifling in summer). Shared bathrooms are clean and all guests have kitchen access. Continental breakfast is included.
