This was my first hostel experience and I really enjoyed it. The location was definitely the best part. I attended a five-day conference at the convention center, and the walk was less than 10 minutes, with lots of good breakfast and lunch spots along the way. The only night that was loud was Saturday night, but we were still able to fall asleep, and all of the other nights were quiet. The staff was really attentive and cheerful. A pleasant experience overall, as long as you don't mind waiting a few minutes for a shower in the morning. :)
