What our guests says about facilities

Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Great Kitchen Space

I was pleasantly surprised by the kitchen facilities here. The space was well-equipped with all the essentials, and I enjoyed making my own meals. The communal fridge was a bonus, allowing me to keep my groceries fresh. It really felt like a home away from home!

Spacious and Private

I booked a bunk in a mixed dorm, and I loved the added privacy feature of the bed curtains. It made such a difference in feeling secure while sleeping, and I really appreciated having my own space amidst the shared environment.

Awesome Common Room

The lounge area was a fantastic spot to unwind. I loved the comfy chairs and the selection of movies available. It was great to have a place to relax after a long day of exploring. The serene ambiance made it perfect for a quiet evening.

Fun Breakfast Vibes

I enjoyed the breakfast offerings! While it was a simple spread, the bagels and fresh fruit were good. The communal kitchen vibe made it great to chat with fellow travelers as we enjoyed our meals together.
