The restrooms smell like mildew and the floors were all wet. In the dorm rooms a gal had an alarm set for 5am that she hit snooze on till 8:30am. There were three empty beds and another girl was assigned right above me who happened to be a chain smoker so her going in and out all night was terrible. Didn’t get much sleep

I had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had in a hostel and maybe one of the best in any hotel as well. The amenities were great as was the staff. The layout of the hostile was well thought out and there were plenty of plugs and outlets and storage spaces everywhere. I would highly recommend this place and I will likely stay there again.

You have to card in to the doors to get into foyer. They do offer locks for your small storage in your room. The beds are not very anchored and very squeaky so try not to roll too much.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

I got there and wanted to take a shower. I made a mistake! The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Claustrophobes beware: I was locked in the toilet for 20 minutes because the lock was jammed. After a bitter struggle, I managed to open the lock and was told “I don't know what to tell you, use the bathroom next door (initially for disabled people)”. Just a passable welcome. On the other hand, I slept quite well (but there were 3 of us in a dormitory for 8, so this probably doesn't reflect a real-life situation). Mind you, this is all just my experience, and perhaps an unlucky streak on my part!
