Good stay. The lift was extremely slow. Had to keep going down to see reception about a number of things and it took forever due to the lift. My card stopped working and I had to wait 20 mins in the line at reception due to other people checking in. They should have a line just for quick fixes. The location was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location away from heards of tourists but all attractions easily walkable. Great food options nearby and seems to be a quiet and safe neighborhood. Staff were not particularly friendly or helpful, nor did they explain where hangout spots etcs were located in the building, nor did they encourage socialising which is a must when travelling alone and staying in a hostel. I was declined entry to breakfast area despite buying a coffee, but where else would you meet fellow travellers!! The rooms are a good set up with great water pressure. However, the room could be cleaner , especially the bed frames as they probably haven't been cleaned since installation. The bed sheet could also be fitted as constantly having to adjust it. Not impressed with having to buy a towel, most travellerd have to pack light so it should be basic necessity (take a deposit). I'm a little concerned with health and safety. Having got up to turn the lights out I heard commotion in the hallway. It was only when I opened the door I heard an alarm to vacate the building. No guidance at all - no one knew what was going on. Turned out to be a false alarm but the problem is you can't hear the alarm from inside the room (517) which is quite freighting if it was a real emergency. Overall too large to care for travellers experience. If you think the self check-in will bypass the long queues at reception, think again, as you'll need to collect key and pay taxes at reception afterwards anyway so pointless!

We had a private room with terrace on the 8th floor which was perfect! Room was basic but really modern, clean and great temperature with a/c especially in the heat while we were there. The hotel is very modern and eclectic with a good buzz about it all the time. Everything we were doing was within walking distance and the area is great. Highly recommend

As a hostel, the rooms are basic, but we had a private room and private bath. It was a more economical choice than any other hotel in city center.

Good for a Couple of Nights
The family room was fine for our family of four, and the kids each enjoyed having a top bunk. There was food downstairs as well as across the street. Unfortunately, food was not allowed in the rooms which made it difficult to grab something and bring it back with you. Also, on our second of two nights, a couple a guys were playing a loud game of soccer in front of our door and rammed into it at one point. We politely told them that we had kids that were trying to sleep and asked them to keep it down. About 45 minutes later, they came by and banged on our door. Luckily, the kids weren’t actually trying to sleep. Just be aware that this is a hostel, and although most of the people in there are fine and leave families alone, there are some who are not.
