The Lights Hostel

Never mind this hostel's rather bleak exterior. Ride the elevator up to reception and things brighten considerably, with a great roof terrace, a nice guest kitchen and air-conditioned four- to 10-bed dorms with thick mattresses and ample bedside conveniences (power outlets, reading lights, privacy curtains). Friendly staff organise frequent activities, from dinners to bar crawls to beach and cultural outings.
