Great value and COOL!”

The staff was wonderful, was very clean and the design/decor was very cool. For a hostel, it wasn't that noisy either besides hearing your neighbors come home at night, but otherwise it was fine and got quiet again after they settled in. Also a wonderful perk was free breakfast with coffee and tea every morning, they had a great spread!!! My husband and I stayed in a double en-suite studio which was very clean and adorable. Our only word of caution perhaps, is that the room was so small the bathroom was literally right next to the head of the bed and the door to the bathroom doesn't close completely (leaves about an inch of space as it's a sliding door). So, you get REAL up close and personal when your roomie needs to use the toilet. It was actually pretty funny, but if anyone has concerns about that maybe ask the staff ahead of time if there is an en-suite room that's a bit more spread out. Overall we had a wonderful stay!!

es un hostal donde no encontraras tranquilidad. mucho meneo de gente joven. desconocía que el hostal tenía el concepto de hacerlo todo tu, en el desayuno debes preparartelo y luego limpiar lo ensuciado. en fin, para par de dias es valido pero no volvería.

おしゃれなホステル”

近くのパブにどうしても行きたかったため、このホステルを取りました。 清潔で、スタッフもフレンドリーだったので、ここにして正解です。 ぎりぎりの時間に行ったのであまり残っていませんでしたが、朝食も満足でした。 強いて言うなら、ベッドのカーテンが欲しいことと、ドミトリー全てに対してバスルームが一つしかなかったので、繁忙期に行くと不便かなと思いました。

bad experience”

I stayed here for one night because the hotel I stayed in before was full. In the middle of the night, two girls came in and made a lot of noise. No one could stop them. They even used the toilet very dirty. There are only two bathrooms in this hotel. If you brush your teeth or go to the toilet when you get up in the morning, and you happen to meet someone taking a shower in it, you will have to wait for a long time. I waited twenty minutes and almost missed my scheduled itinerary. However, I reported everything to the staff and they did nothing. There are better hotels in this city, the transportation here is not very convenient.
