Noisy party hostel
Noisy place. There are groups of teenagers who knock the door, run in the hallway and scream late at night. I was in a private room, but could not sleep because of the noite. Good location, clean, but not worth the noise inside.

We had to purchase towels
Make note, you must purchase towels and alcohol is not permitted in the rooms. Alternatively, the bar was awesome and the lady promoting the karaoke did a great job!!

It had the potential to be the best option for the
The check-in process took about an hour, and the line was obstructing other guests as they entered the building. The bed was firm, but it was clean. However, the shower door does not seal completely, leaving about a one-inch gap. As a result, when I take a shower, the floor ends up messy and wet.

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.
