HOTS is an ultrafriendly hostel near the hydrofoil and ferry terminals. Located on the 7th floor, it's a bright, sociable place with multicoloured dorms, a casual in-house bar (with cheap evening cocktails) and a games room. A few floors down is a series of hotel-standard private rooms, many with en-suite bathrooms.
