Just enough style to get the job done right.
This hotel was neat, the eclectic patrons from all over the world and all ages was cool, different than I expected. The room was amazingly quiet and i loved it. The only down side was the water pressure in the shower, it was hot though, but it dribbled out of the shower head. Other than that it was nice and close to cool things like Lilly's Bar and Prost.

Lively stay in a fantastic neighborhood
Had a private room in a hostel so appreciated the mix of privacy and facilities. Always people coming and going, but quiet in my room. Location was the best part.

Nice for the price
The hostel was a good deal in a great neighborhood. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast offering was adequate, but nothing exceptional. It would be nice if coffee and tea was available later in the day, not just during breakfast. The rooms are clean and everything seems well maintained. It would be nice if there were benches or shelves in the shower areas to put your stuff on, who wants to put their stuff on the floor? A small trash can in the shower stalls would also be nice. The bunk beds are metal, and so hard to crawl in and out of, and those little bars are really hard on the feet. Ladders would be nice and don't take up a lot of room. And the upholstery throughout the lobby and dining area is pretty worn out. But having said all that I would stay here again if the price is right.

The young man with the long hair working at the check-in desk needs an attitude adjustment.

Will go back but…
It was a great spot and really well priced. My only problem with it was the mattresses were pretty dreadful. Felt like a mix between blow up and cheap springs. Woke up pretty stiff but other than that, it is a great spot to stay and it’s located conveniently close to a lot of really cool stuff.

Great for a no frills stay
Located in a beautiful neighborhood and close to many forms of public transportation. I booked a solo studio and it was perfect for my little getaway. Clean facilities and friendly staff. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the property is. Will definitely stay again.
