Besides its distinctive look, the hostel boasts a gallery, a small museum, a special room to chill and meditate and a garden, where music concerts often take place during the summer. Due to all that, Celica has received multiple awards, among them being the title of the "No.1 hippest hostel in the world", given by Lonely Planet. |
