Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was lovely! Very nice vibe, and would be perfect for anyone looking to meet new people at a hostel. Could get a little loud at night with no soundproofing, but to be expected. The private queen room had a very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with complimentary soaps, which I am not used to at a hostel!

Such an enchanting hidden gem with the most marvelous people! Beautiful relaxing lounge with a full bar and timeless couches that hug you back! Conversations you've been missing your whole life flow with the city lights. Drifted away on the terrace as the nightlife whispered in the backdrop. Suddle walks away from charming restaurants and tourist attractions. Every step away is a charming scenic route that will sweep you away until returning for a blissful sleep with a late night chat awaiting!

Jason

Disliked: Staff & service
Tried checking in 27 minutes early and was told to wait, while guy came in 5 minutes later and was helped. Told doors locked at 2AM and if not inside by then no access granted, would be left on street. Sheets dirty and pillow was useless. A lot of bars around and a little crime. Can’t complain too much though, you do get what you pay for. Next time probably gonna pay a little extra and stay somewhere nicer.
