This friendly and hospitable backpacker’s paradise has provided travellers with an artsy urban oasis for decades. The family-run hostel’s sweeping bar, unique patio furniture and oversized chess and backgammon sets in the verdant garden area - all handcrafted by avid woodworker-owner Walter - along with the array of musical instruments in the common room, helpful staff, clean facilities and reasonable rates invite visitors to relax and rendezvous.
