In a cutely painted clapboard building on a hill in the centre of town, this inviting hostel has just five rooms, each with polished wood floors and ample natural light. Dorm beds have small individual flat-screen TVs, and the three doubles are pretty decent for the price. There's a basic kitchen for guests to use, but otherwise no food.
