Negative Reviews
negative:
Atmosphere may not be for everyone.
There have been a number of remarks about the atmosphere having a party-type vibe, which may not be for everyone. Many guests said it is common for other guests to engage in drinking games and loud activities until the late hours of the night and the property can become quite noisy at times. If noise such as this bothers you, you may want to bring a pair of ear plugs or consider a more reserved hostel.
negative:
Kitchen area a little small.
The kitchen area has been said to be somewhat small to accommodate all the guests who may be staying at the hostel at a given time.
negative:
A couple of additional complaints.
