Quirky place. Lots of nice amenities and is clean. Overall I would recommend but for my particular use, I found it very loud on the weekend. Both nights people were partying, there was a high pitched squealing noise that went on for hours below my room, doors were slamming, people were arriving late. If you have early mornings I wouldn't recommend this place, especially on weekends!

Awesome staff

Overall great setup. Lots of lil amenities. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The down side was not having a fan or individual AC in the room(private). The room was just muggy. Opening the window didn't help with the airport and condensor units right outside. Barely my second stay at a hostel. But i noticed the lack of group activities, maybe just the off season. Idk. But would definitely stay here again.
