BUG Review
This is a great hostel perched on top of a hill and surrounded by thick gardens. It is in a restored old house with loads of character. There are several common rooms with chandeliers, log fires, pianos and guitars. The dorms have single beds with good mattresses. Bathrooms are newly (and rather creatively) renovated, and the showers have great water pressure. They offer internet access, an international book exchange, laundry, free tea and real coffee, and a great free breakfast. There are two other buildings with slightly lower standards, but overall it is a central, good value place to stay. The reception staff are extremely warm and friendly.
