Happy Hippo is a laid-back warehouse loft with private rooms and 4 to 5-person shared dorm rooms built around a large communal open space. There is not a whole lot of nightlife within walking distance, but it's a five-minute walk to the beach, and the fully stocked rooftop bar has a great view of the industrial city center.
