Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    What a great location! Many restaurants, markets, and downtown activities within walking distance. The underground parking was so helpful, as it's hard to park downtown sometimes. when we needed to drive, the car was handy, safe, and protected from the weather and from theft. Annette, the owner was communicative and responsive to our needs. We really liked her, so we wanted to take care of the place for her. It was like home away from home.
