Liked: Amenities
It's an older, well used property. Basic amenities. We didn't take advantage of the kitchen facility but looked like the young adults were getting good use out of it. Good value considering how popular the area is. We loved our small balcony.

Night club plays super loud music until about 3 am every night. Even on the top floor the sound level is way too high to really fall deeply asleep. They provide earplugs in your room which is a foreshadowing of the night to come.

Located in center of the city nice neighborhood. I enjoyed walking to the riverside market as well as the park area. The staff was helpful at the check in. There are rooms that the guests can eat, drink, and chat, as well as work. I stayed in the bigger room to take care of some tasks. The ambiance was comfy,!

I don't know if the hostel has karaoke facilities or if they were singing in another room, but the soundproofing was poor and I slept late.
