Ideally located, close to the city center and the Polynesian Spa.
Has it's own bar and also a climb wall. To enter the dorm areas a code has to be entered so it feels quite safe.I stayed in a double room with ensuite and it was clean, comfortable and spacious.The only bad thing about it is that it can be quite noisy due to it's own bar and the bar next door (even though there is an alley in between).
