Bad experience, staff rude, beds on shared room no privacy no curtains, small toilets, dirty shower, no light on the bed, no early check in option, check out is too early and for the price I hoped something at least acceptable, but it was not at all.

Looks fun, great lobby, bar and breakfast area. Very social and active but i was too busy to enjoy. The downside is the building. Elevator light went out while riding, personal locker slammed closed on my hand and head. Front desk had no bandage for my bleeding. Pillow case was dirty. Some staff a little too "friendly" with women.

It's a hostel and you're not paying for anything fancy. What you get here is basic but the important things that matter are all there and done really well. Great bedding, fab shower pressure, and really lovely staff to top off the experiance. If you're looking for great quality no frills at a fantastic price, this is the place.

As a hostel, the rooms are basic, but we had a private room and private bath. It was a more economical choice than any other hotel in city center.
