The walls are cluttered with postcards and posters, a dozen litre mugs hang temptingly above a bar and youth of all nationalities are in constant motion... and that’s just the reception area. Walk down hallways covered in graffiti by local street artists to find singles, family rooms and dorms each of which includes private lockers and even speakers that can be plugged into your iPod.
