This hostel is in the best location imaginable with walking distance to the Opera house, train station that can take you all the way from/to the airport, harbor with big cruise and small local ships and stunning views from the rooftop bar/eating area. It also has a historical value with the archaeological ruins underneath with see through floor to explore. Next door is archaeological educational center as well. Nice common kitchen with everything you need to cook, store, and keep cold. Big common dinning area with booths to work on a computer too.
