Stayed here for a few nights and had a great experience overall. The common area was lively and welcoming, and the bathrooms were very clean. Staff were super helpful—I accidentally badged out once and they quickly gave me a spare key card with no fuss. My room was a bit noisy since it faced the street, but that’s to be expected given the location. Would stay again.

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.
