If you can get past the cheesy name, the Inn Crowd is an excellent hostel. The vibe is friendly and relaxed, the decor cheerful and stylish, and the mattresses top quality. There is a wealth of extras too: a travel library, rooftop garden, open-air showers and a hearty breakfast (Marmite included). Skylights and full windows let in plenty of natural light, and the owner – who stays in the house – keeps the place spick and span. Little India is just outside your door.
