BUG review
This new hostel is a in an old characterless house near the harbour that has mostly double and twin rooms and a few dorm beds. It is comprised of two buildings, one of which doesn’t have a kitchen. The dorms are bland but have good beds and are made up with duvets. The common area consists of just a few old sofas plus some books and a TV. Bathrooms are new and clean. It has a mature feel to it and not much of a backpacker atmosphere at all – in fact many young backpackers would find it quite boring. But they do offer discount kayaking tours and the owners are extremely friendly.
