 "Exceptionally well-managed hostel located in a beautiful heritage building...with a real home-from-home feel." 
 "Witch's Hat is like something out of a fairy tale. The 1897 building itself could be mistaken for a gingerbread house... Dorms are light and uncommonly spacious, and there's a red-brick barbecue area." Full review
