Hip "hostel"
This design-orientated and much-hyped hotel chain call themselves "hostels" but they've raised the bar significantly from the usual definition of a hostel. Choose whether you want to stay cheaply in shared rooms or treat yourself to a slightly more luxurious premium room, and don't miss socialising in the "chillout" areas or in the restaurant/bar Hilma. Great central location close to airport buses and the city centre.
