Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location, clean, modern, fairly large rooms for this price point. Bed was comfortable. Excellent value, and one of the best budget hotels I have ever stayed at.

    Great location for the arena. Shop and kebab right next door. Basic hotel with small bathroom but it's perfect for a cheap stay. Free parking but they did say that the policy was changing.

    Such a warm and welcoming apartment. Lovely hot, powerful shower. Nice, homely feel and comfortable bed. Great location. Feels like a safe, family area. Never had a problem with on street parking and great transport links. There’s a shared kitchen on the middle floor so with the fridge in the apartment, self catering is easy.
