Everything was great, would have liked a spare blanket, the window didn’t close properly (not a problem) but it did make it a little drafty. Great atmosphere at roof top bar.

Weird Experience

Feels more like a halfway house than a hostel. I was placed in a room with what must have been someone that had stayed there for some time. Totally felt as if I was invading his space. On top of that he had other guys sleeping in his bed pretty much every night that I was there. Super uncomfortable and inappropriate. Never interacted with any of the front desk staff other than checking in. It was clear that the staff has to know there are a massive amount of people that actually live there. The main entrance was one entrance while everyone living there entered another door. Super weird and not what I expected. Additionally, you’re pretty much forced to eat on-site given you can’t bring outside food in which got super expensive…everything is overpriced and is mediocre at best. Wouldn’t stay there again. And yes I could have complained, yet it’s obvious management is fully aware of the people living there. Really wasn’t the issue as much as it was that I was in a room with a guy and his boy toys. Didn’t ask to move, because I knew it wouldn’t be any better.

Nice but loud

The hotel was nice and it was the perfect location for us BUT bring your earplugs because it felt like the street noise (lots of people hanging out by the bar across the street) was directly in the room.
