Hostel in the downtown area, however as it was a Sunday, parking was free and also there was no loud music from the bar next door, 😊 The female only dorm was clean with en suite facilities
The kitchen was a little untidy, but I'm sure this is the fault of some of the guests, who don't follow rules. Eat up & clean up after you.
