Popular hillside hostel with two well-sized dorms sleeping six and eight, plus a handful of simple doubles, some of which have air-con. Music is the big deal here – guests come to take daily dancehall dance classes (private lessons available), and there are also regular DJ nights and a small recording studio. Self-caterers can use the kitchen, or chill at the bar and then flop in the Jacuzzi.
