The hostel was not at it looked like in the pictures. The room was too small for 4 people. The beds didn´'t have blankets, just one bed sheet. The room didn't have a window, so it was not possible to change the air. In the space in the entrance for sitting and sharing was not able to eat or drink things from outside, just what you buy there. The kitchen for eating your food was a really depresing space, with no windows, in the basement, with no music, not good facilities.

It’s a great hotel. Rooms are little tiny, and just a heads up: if it’s raining the rooftop/pool bar is closed (pretty much the reason we booked it) but I took my buddy who has a deep seeded hatred for anything “hippy” related (hostels included) and he loved it. Now he’s sold on hostels. I’ve stayed in dozens of hostels all around he world and this is one of (if not, the best) one I’ve stayed in the USA.

It feels like a hotel, the rooms and facilities were the nicest I have ever seen, it was safe and very clean, l liked the gym and the pool, that being said, it lacks atmosphere, the weekly bulletin was empty, didn’t look like it had ever been used, it seemed like everyone at the bar was an Engineer, Doctor or very successful in their profession (still had a really fun night with them), the owners must consider hosting events or meet and greets, it’s challenging but not impossible for people to have fun here
