The staff was friendly, my dormmates were friendly, the room and bathrooms were clean, and it was cute. My only complaint is that I thought the hostel was geared towards a younger crowd, but there were some older men staying there.

The unit was great.. the staff was excellent.. the only issue is Expedia ..don't book on Expedia as there was an issue with the unit and Expedia would not compensate me so if you're going to use Expedia make sure you don't use a non-refundable version. Suggest use other booking site
