Decent cheap inner city accommodation.

Not the fanciest place and quite shabby in parts but it was clean, the bed was comfy and I slept well. Well priced and conveniently located with a very helpful friendly manager.

Room was clean tidy with good shower.
Kitchen was very well equipped.
Just BEWARE of the fact you are above a nightclub. Friday night was VERY loud till 3am.

DB is an oldfashioned Backpackers, a bit worndown, and 'casual'. It is centrally located, and has dorms and private rooms. Compared to other stays, it is rather expensive for what it offers.
