Excellent location being right next to Cuba Street but also the downfall as it can be very noisy at night. On our particular evening, there was some shouting and swearing (like a fight) on the street and a car alarm that went off making it a difficult sleep.
Being a hostel/backpackers it was as expected, communal kitchen is well equipped with utensils and pots/pans.
Our biggest complaint was that our room smelt very strongly of weed as soon as we opened the door. After advising Huup of this we were informed the smell may be in the ventilation and in other rooms too. An option to change rooms was noted to come with an additional cleaning fee so we stuck it out.
Overall, fine for very short term stays.
