See what £11/ 13 euro/ $13 gets you a night if using their Hostel option. Its basically a hotel room, with 3 single beds. Only downside is only 1 key (worked for us, but giving a key to each guest would be good) and no private locker space, so dont leave anything valuable in the room. 10 euro deposid for a front door keykard in case using outside of front desk hours (up to 12 midnight I think). Very friendly front desk Staff, good English. Option for meals on site, and sell snacks on front desk too. Bus 210 drops you off almost at the door between here and the airport (2 euros) 20 min walk into the old city, or plenty of bus/tram options (or try the electric scooters for fun).
