Bar was good set up,dinning could area be more spacious.
Could be less stairs,There were only handrails on lengthy exits.
The roadworks outside were hazard with plate overlaying ever couple metres and hardly any protection covering open pit near footpath into the premises along the street

its ok. But ok for the price and location. But i did not like that the bedrooms are not at the same building of the bar (its next to it). Also did not like the checkout. i was literally kicked out from the hotel bedroom at 10 am.

The stay was fine it can get very loud at times but staff are very friendly and helpful but I would say they do charge too much per night for what you get.

Pretty bad, actually!!!
Terrible beds, the private bathroom was a mystery, you had to shower from a stationary shower head over the toilet.
They charge you extra for the towels and the digital checking was a nightmare.
They have a nightclub downstairs so forget about getting a good night sleep.
Very expensive for the kind of service.

The lockers are under the beds. Some beds have smaller lockers.
Sometimes the check in can be delayed. They offered me a free locker. But the stairs to the lockers is a path to inferno: it’s narrow and steep, including ups and downs.

Would not book again
Beautiful view in daytime from the 5th floor. Lighting inside the room terrible though so really not pleasant after sun down (one of the lights not working on top of that). The bed is quite high of the ground. The shower is awful. The great thing about this place is the location. Next time I will pick a hotel for the same price but a few blocks away.

BEWARE of staying at this place if u like a good night sleep.
As the location is between bars and restaurants, the noise by the bar patrons can be heard even if you are staying at level 2.
Avoid staying at rooms next to the staircase because the noise can also be heard when they walk loudly.
The staff service is excellent though.

Affordable stay
The hostel was really affordable which is the only reason I got it. It was accessible from the airport, but I got lost on the way back.
They didn’t respond to any of messages or calls to ask if they had 24/7 services because we were going to be there after midnight. Overall the capsule was clean and the sleep was good and the bar was awesome too, so it was alright.

Stayed two nights at the hostel; with bad experience;
1) very noisy starting from 10pm till 1am for Sunday and Monday night
2) noise starts back again as early as 5am when guest are checking out as lacking of sound proof
3) feeling low energy and grumpy the next day
Best to avoid this place
