Liked: Though it is not situated in the city centre, it provides transport to and fro city centre that makes it very convinent. Also, not located right in the city centre gives peace and the relaxing feel at the end of the day. Helpful staff has made the trip very pleasent. There are lots of activities that can be booked from the hostel as well.
