First time staying at a hostel. I tried my best to not make noise since I came in late and left early. Other than that it was nice and as expected.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This stay was very reasonably priced. The room was comfortable, and I felt safe in the building. I loved the location for being in walking distance to the convention center and so many nice restaurants and shops. I loved the art and the convenience of the kitchen, too. The only drawback is that it is an exceptionally noisy neighborhood. Since my small ears reject ear plugs, I was subjected to the music and general ruckus of the street below until well after 2 AM, no matter the day of the week.
