Murray Library Hostel

7 Shore Street

Description

As much as the sailor is shouting “Land!” after a long sea-crossing, the traveller is shouting “bed” after a long day of hiking and visiting, filling his senses with the beauty of the world. There is no secret of how to make a perfect hostel: convenient areas, smiling faces and an emphasis on cleanliness and guest service. Then, there is this little something brought from different places all around the world. A little something hard to define, but which you can feel as soon as you enter the place, a vibrant sense of peace and where everything is being taken care of for a nice stay.
