BUG review
This hostel is in a small home to the north of the town centre. It has a TV lounge with log fire and a well equipped kitchen, plus a spa pool and an outside deck. Dorms are clean and bright with good beds. Everything is kept clean, but it could use an update, as the carpets are old and some of the furnishings are rather tired-looking. They offer internet access ($6 per hour) and guests have free use of bicycles. There is a friendly and quiet atmosphere.
