    The location is perfect - just a few minutes walk from the main train station and where the airport buses will drop you off, plus all the old city highlights. I don't think you can get a better place for less. The single room I had was small but...

    This was as expected for a hostel room with attached bath. Very simple room, but about the cheapest I found without moving to a shared bathroom. The room was clean, and the location was perfect!
