Pro: Very clean and a great set up. Safe. Staff is excellent. Con: With on site bar, loud noise long into night. Rooms are hot, although the AC was not turned on because of others in the rooms preference.

Property is good for young travelers who can share a variety of activities. Requesting towels takes time to be provided as it depends on availability. Fridges are small showing traveler’s food packed in disorganized view. I could not put any food in due to lack of space. In general, it was a calm stay.

It’s ok. The staff was nice and went out of his way to help me. I forgot his name but he was extremely helpful! Thank you! But the lady who checked me in did not look like she wants to be there. Although it was 2am so I guess thats understandable. The AC was weird because it was in and out. But for a budget hostel it was good and they have a free welcome drink.

The rooms were good they were clean and a place to lay ur head. The thing that made me want to continue to come back is their lobby, roof top, and bar it made it so easy to be down stairs or on the roof tops and out of the rooms. This place and the atmosphere were great and i will definitely be back.
