The hostel was ok. If you are on a very low budget it's ok. The "pods" had paper thin walls and no ceilings so noises from fellow guests were heard and therefore I had disturbed nights. It was my first time in a hostel so wasn't sure what to expect. I won't be going again however it was really conveniently placed in the city

Stays at hostels are challenging for Americans with very thin wall in this one. The snoring can be quite loud along with conversations in the common spaces just outside the bed cells.

This is the first time I’ve stayed at this hostel and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! The common spaces are beautiful and I spent a lot of time in the common area on the women’s floor. My only complaint is that it got really hot in my room and it made it a little hard to sleep. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my stay and I’ll happily stay here again! :)

If you are looking for a place to lay your head at night this is a great place. Staff is great, room was clean. Only downside is it is super loud in there. The ceiling is open so you can hear everyone in the dorm with you. The walls are super thin so you can hear walking, whispering, pretty much any of the smallest sounds. Don’t expect to get any sleep here. Other than that location is great, list of stuff around. Staff very friendly

I wanted to like this place, I really did! Rates are affordable, and the location is right in the center of a very exciting nightlife district. The waterfall showers were also very comfortable and modern. But since the ceilings of the rooms are all open, you can hear all the noises of everyone in the rooms next to you. The locks on the door are also very noisy... so I got woken up a lot of times in the middle of the night. This really was a dealbreaker for me, and I don't think I'll be back unless the rooms can be enclosed and soundproofed. An elevator also would have been nice, but I don't think that having one would be possible in this limited space.
