There is a bar and event venue on the ground floor. When they have an event, the floor and the beds in the hostel vibrate, not to mention how nosy it is. They had music till 4:30 am and I could not sleep at all. Ear plugs can't help when you literally try to sleep in the middle of the concert. Also the building is old, and the windows have very poor sound proof, so that all street noise, as well as ambulance sirens are heard so as if you sleep on the street. The info about the concert hall on the ground hall was not highlighted in the hostel description, I would never book it if I saw it. Also there is no lounge area in the hostel, and the roof could be closed till 10 am, so if you have breakfast early, you need to stay in the kitchen. There are no umbrellas on the roof, you can basically enjoy it only in the evening time if you don't want to get sun burn. Overall the hostel is not cosy, not welcoming, you have only your bed and a kitchen. They also increased prices by several times during the Christmas and new year period, and those users who stayed there for a week before that and wanted to extend their stay were charged insane amount of money ($170 for a bed in a dormitory room). This is how the management treats loyal customers. I paid almost twice less for the same period of time only because I booked it in advance.
