 "Comfy 180-bed hostel (with vertigo-inducing top bunks) in the city centre with cool bar/café Blend attached. There are women-only dorms for no extra charge and, best of all, plush en-suite doubles." 
 "Smack-bang in the middle of town, Nomads has good security, spick-and-span rooms, an on-site cafe-bar (free modest nightly meals) and discounts for longer stays." Full review
