This hostel did the job as a safe, clean place to sleep for the night but I wouldn’t book again based on the vibe. It had a quiet, clinical atmosphere like purgatory that made it feel weird to talk to other people. The common areas were sort of spread out and fragmented, and the main area to spend time outside your room had the air of a very quiet airport gate, with spread out seating and fluorescent lights. They also have you make your own bed (in my case an upper bunkbed) which was unfortunate because I got in at 1am and others were already asleep in my room. Might be worth it if you’re going to save a lot of money.

staff was extremely unfriendly, except one woman who was on the younger side. the lobby is way nicer than the actual rooms. there are no curtains or fans within the room. the location of the hostel is also not great for the money. the hostel was $20 usd more expensive than the nicer hostel that i stayed in during my stay in paris. the vending machines only really have candy, which is unhelpful for late nights or early mornings. overall, i would say it was mediocre at best and would not necessarily recommend.
