BUG Review
This centrally located hostel has a great atmosphere. It has a bar downstairs with Sky TV, a pool table and popular pizzas. Upstairs, the dorms are very well maintained, with shiny bathrooms and sturdy beds with clean new sheets. There is a gorgeous fully-equipped kitchen, laundry and internet access ($4 per hour). Backpackers love this place, no doubt due in part to the gregarious and welcoming hosts.
