This hostel in a modern, pink-brick building is well worth the 800m walk north from the town centre (1.4km by road). Its basic but handsome doubles have views over a rugged valley; four-bed dorms are clean and well maintained. Amenities include a bar, open kitchen, laundry, cafeteria, games room and large patio with sweeping views.
