The city centre's independent hostel is run by helpful and experienced backpackers and found in a Victorian house surrounded by shops, pubs, eat-ins and take-outs, sights 'n' sounds.

Open all day all year, the Igloo offers no chores or heavy rules - just a chance to meet some friendly people and get a good night's sleep at the end of an active day.
