Surprisingly quiet for a hostel. Perfect for a single traveller. Felt safe and the bed was very comfortable. Bring eye mask as city lights are bright through windows!!

I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it.
My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish

The room was very difficult to get to with luggage. Had to take an elevator to the 2nd floor and then moved through other buildings and down15 stairs to get to room. Not convenient to get in and out.
