5 New, clean, and very well run.
This hostel opened in July '09 and is brand new. Not only that, they also keep it impeccably clean, all the time. Many conveniences -- Laundry, Wi-fi, Computers. The only downside, and I'm being picky, is that it is a bit sterile. The staff are efficient, but not necessarily warm. The communal areas aren't that conducive to hang out in -- lots of fluorescent lighting. More couches would be good. Still, a great place.
