I stayed in the 4-person, dorm-style hostel and I could not be happier about the price or the experience! There's a beautiful rooftop bar and the lobby is perfect for reading a book, working on the computer or having a drink!

The staff was incredibly accommodating, the beds cozy, bathrooms so clean ... The view from the rooftop was amazing and the pool was pleasant. The valet service was super fast. I was even surprised by the gym on site. It was super affordable, which made all the amenities impressive. I would definitely stay here again! The lobby has such a cool vibe although the seat cushions could use a deep clean. I met some gals from all over the globe in my quad and they were super easy to bunk with. I had an overall wonderful experience.
