Everyone was fantastic when we got there. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, however the quality of our company left us feeling unwelcome toward the end. This was not the Hostels fault as far as I can tell, it was just unfortunate circumstances about what was being watched on the communal TV. If you're okay with paying a little too much for pod-style accommodations where you may make some friends, by all means. However if you're looking for more privacy or, in our case, members of the LGBT community you may want to look elsewhere. We are two trans women and it was a little less than ideal.

I’ve stayed in 72 hostels as a free lancer and I’m other capacities both pleasure and work related abroad and in the US. The noice in this hostel was unbelievable. There’s no sound coverings at the top of any of the rooms! I found the one staff member there in the mornings to be cold and the tenants to be just as rude. There’s so many hostels in that area! I’d really encourage you to find another one, especially if you want to shower. It’s cold, tiny and less than appealing. One of the worst I’ve seen and I’ve stayed in some not so fancy places! The lack of respect I felt was pretty unreasonable and I promise you I present as pretty warm (and respectful). I was thus surprised to see and experience what I did while I was there. The one good is it lets you check in by 10am and some hostels are later, but I’m reaching for a positive.

Loved it except for the bedbugs
The place was clean and staff and other residents were super friendly. I liked my pod and having AC and an ice machine were major bonuses. The only downside was there were major bedbugs. In all fairness, as soon as it was reported they did a heat treatment so I wouldn't be carrying them off with me anywhere.
