The hostel was amazing. Nice environment with everyone sharing common areas. Place is respectful with noice policies. The area is not very safe to walk around, but you're close to principal attractions so it compensates one with the other one.

It was a pleasant stay in the hostel. All facilities are clean and well maintained. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm which was very quiet. The roommates are very respectful. The area is nice and very close to a nice walking trail along the river and quay. The bad side is the property is close to a railway which could be noisy before 12am.

Rooms are spacious and tidy however, they ask you to check out at 10am which is way too early compared to check-in time of 2pm. Also the luggage compartments are too narrow to put in a bag.
