This swanked-out hostel is an oasis for budget travelers. Stylish, modern and squeaky clean, dorms have themes – Aspen, Graffiti, Vintage Biker – and sleep five to 10 people in bunks. Mattresses are thick, duvets plush and each guest gets a locker and individual charging station. The common kitchen and frequent pub crawls make it easy to make new friends.
The only hiccup: a restaurant-bar with live music on the 1st floor. Great if you want to party. Bummer if you want to sleep. Bring earplugs. Better yet, request a room on the top floor.
