Beautiful hostel....really like a boutique hotel

Pros: Beautiful room, helpful staff, spotless, totally above and beyond expectations
Cons: Perhaps noise-proof windows since it's on a busy street
Location: Heart of old town
So much nicer than any pictures or description could show. An old school building lovingly converted into a gorgeous hostel/boutique hotel in the heart of town by people with a phenomenal artistic eye. My private double room was much nicer than many hotel rooms I've stayed in, everything was spotless, wonderful backyard garden/restaurant, fully-stocked kitchen, freely baked free cake everyday, and super friendly staff.
