Step into the lobby here with its cafe-bar and it looks more like a hotel than a hostel. Set in a tower block overlooking the harbour just south of Tivoli Gardens (did we mention the views?), the dorms and private rooms are all bright, light and modern, each with bathroom. Laundry facilities available on-site. Book ahead.
