One of the best hostels ive ever been to. Managed so perfectly and everything is so well done. The curtain covered beds almost make you feel like youre not surrounded by so many other people.

Nice hostel, my first and last experience with a hostel, way too many rules . Not like I'm a rule breaker but i want to shower any time i want ,not told quite hours are from 10pm to 9 am . Yet i have to check out 9am ,no way . Way to early for check out . It happened to be 93 degrees and no air conditioning in you're room . Another is no TV except in dining area . I'm too old to fel like I'm living with roommates. Again nice hostel but with experience I'm sticking to hotels . And yes I'm a experience traveling taking 25 trips a year.

I would absolutely recommend this spot to any of my friends or family. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and relatively quiet, considering the nature of hostels. Friendly and helpful staff, easy check in and checkout (you practically just leave!), and it has some lovely views from the fourth floor lounge. Thanks for having us!
