Stayed in Gilligan's before moving over to the yha for my last few days and even though it's not as modern, it's a way nicer vibe. All the rooms are positioned around the courtyard and a couple of eves there were movies being projected onto the wall for a cinema type experience. I'd definitely suggest ending your trip here over one of the party hostels. It was smaller, but still social and it felt way less chaotic.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
