The neighborhood is very party central, but that is not the sort of thing that bothers me. I usually go out, but I really just needed sleep this trip. I sleep deep (and they offer ear plugs if you don't), and I slept very comfortably in my little pod. The bed was clean, all the electronic components worked well, the showers were clean and tidy, there was a small locker for my gear, the WiFi worked great in my pod, and I loved the location. I want to come back when I am able to actually socialize more. The space was just what anyone needs that is comfortable in a hostel arrangement.
