The location
Beds were dirty from other people and they told me the clean the room every three days, which is a lie because it was dirty when we got there and we still there for three days and during our stay they never came and clean our beds!

OkayMar 20204.6
Great location, both rooftop bar and lounge were lovely.
A friend and I stayed in the mixed dorm 6 bed having spent the previous 6 weeks in hostels with no problems and were extremely disappointed. Felt extremely uncomfortable in the rooms as many of our roommates were unpleasant, there was little privacy (a curtain between the beds would have been nice.) The whole hostel smelt of weed especially on our floor. When we first arrived we were placed in seperate rooms despite having made the booking under one name, which had this been our only inconvenience would have been fine as the staff dealt with this after we brought it up, but after our stay we wouldn’t recommend.

The room had acceptable comfort and sound insulation. The beds were not squeaky.
No breakfast. Slow "service" at the front desk. Questionable pricing policies.
