This was a very nice hostel and I felt very safe. I stayed in 4 person bunk room with all women and it was very nice! The doors can only be opened with a keycard for that room. The sheets and bed were very clean and comfortable. I slept in the bottom bunk that had a little curtain which made me feel like I had my own little space. The bathroom was down the hall and was very clean.

Lovely boutique style hostel. Great bang for your buck. Parking was difficult in the sense that nobody was quite sure of the rules of the area. We found amd paid for overnight parking nearby.

Really enjoyed my stay! Everything you need in a stay away from home. Loved the interior decor and the service was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly, the bar was on point, and my roomies were awesome! As a woman I felt safe and cared for. Will definitely be back!

Disliked: Amenities
Property was clean. Charged extra fee upon arrival. The female I shared the room with snored all night. Went down to lobby to change room, no solution was provided. Not sure how the hotel would address this issue. If you have sleep apnea/chronic snoring, get a CPAP machine! Completely disrespectful to the people you know you will sharing a room with. Hotel could ask this when booking. Worst sleep of my life and should have booked a room at a higher rate.
