BUG review
This is a small hostel with a big personality. It has an excellent lounge/common area, with purple and green walls, funky décor and international feel; guests can chill out here (under a tree) with a book or watch a video. There is also a well equipped kitchen, internet access, laundry, drying room and a barbecue and trampoline in the backyard. The dorms are a bit run-down but clean, although the bathrooms are spotless and nicely renovated.
