GREAT value hostel in a super nice area. This is not the Four Seasons... but for around $50 a night for a room with a private toilet (shared bath) this place is a great deal. Located on a leafy, quiet street in a very upscale neighborhood. Highly recommended for those on a budget.

The area where this is located is really nice and walkable, with plenty of resturaunts and shops. The neighborhood is quaint and feels safe. We had one lf the premium rooms and the beds were comfortable. We felt safe there and the staff were helpful, but not like kiss-your-butt nice like at some big name chains, if that makes sense lol. I highly recommend!

Just enough style to get the job done right.
This hotel was neat, the eclectic patrons from all over the world and all ages was cool, different than I expected. The room was amazingly quiet and i loved it. The only down side was the water pressure in the shower, it was hot though, but it dribbled out of the shower head. Other than that it was nice and close to cool things like Lilly's Bar and Prost.

Had a private room in a hostel so appreciated the mix of privacy and facilities. Always people coming and going, but quiet in my room. Location was the best part.
