The hostel is conveniently located. I liked that there was a female only floor. I had a very comfortable stay.

Rough around the edges, but very inexpensive. Not for light sleepers. Room and bed are tiny, but this is a hostel not a hotel. You get what you pay for. The price per night is low, but you will make some sacrifices. This place is ideal for young travelers on a budget. The cash savings from staying here will go a long way to paying for your nightlife activities.

I didn’t like how hot the building was, especially at night. I woke up multiple times every night of my stay sweating, and I couldn’t cool off with a cold shower because the showers are all on. Full blast scalding hot.

Gabriel

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Rooms aren’t really separated - there’s no ceiling and it feels more like cubicles than separate rooms. Because of that, I couldn’t sleep before midnight because of people moving around and got woken up every 15 minutes as of 4am because of alarms going off and others opening / closing doors. I would never stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Be prepared for an experience. Maybe I am too old for hostel life but this was just a bizarro set up for me. It was a very long/windy walk to the bathroom. The lattice ceilings seemed bizarre-they didn’t offer any sound protection (locks opening up doors echoed) but made the teeny tiny room feel even smaller. The mattresses were very comfortable. The design choices of the lobby seemed to play up the seedy vibe (black paint everywhere/dimly lit) with furniture that was probably in good shape but looked super worn. So it wasn’t seedy but tended to be seedy. Checkin fellow was nice.

It's way smaller than you expect and there isn't any real ceiling. You are literally in a cubicle.
