This family-run hostel set in a suburban home offers the best welcome in the Tri-City. It's a cosy affair with just 28 beds, a common room and kitchen, but it's the owners – experienced travellers who know what makes a good hostel experience – who make it special. The only drawback is the location, a 10-minute bus ride south of the centre.
