The design of the hostel means you're basically sharing a room with 40 people with a kitchen in the middle (rather than 6-8 like normal hostels and where the kitchen is separate). So for noise and in terms of covid, it's not great at all. The kitchen was at the foot of my bed and people banged about and played music at 7.30am. Nice staff and very clean space, with nice touches like books and yoga mats.
