The hostel is on the outside edge of the old town, just a few minutes away, but nearly a 20 minute walk to the old town centre. The owner isn't overly friendly and only spoke to us, over 3 days, to say goodbye! But we found the staff working there to be very helpful. Problems: Wifi on the 3rd floor doesn't work, our sink leaked, and TV didn't work. Only the TV got fixed. The website English directions are incorrect if you come by public bus from the airport. When you get off, you have to walk BACK to the traffic lights. Look for the YHA sign above the rooftops. The entrance is just a doorway after the Huawei mobile phone shop so it can be hard to find. Big bonus is the hostel has a VPN wifi so you can access blocked social media and e-mail accounts, although only on the ground and 1st floors. Okay, and cheap, I'd stay again.

Nice hostel, very friendly staff, who helped with arranging transport and giving information about visits to places of interest. Good value too. Most of the bed in my dorm were empty.
