Avery·5·Feb. 2026· "This place is very well-run and a great introduction to hostel-life. I do wish there had been more casual/group events other than just yoga or bar-hopping - as a solo traveler I felt a little more isolated than I was expecting. Check-in was easy and the place is kept very clean. The plastic pods do get extremely hot overnight and leaving the slide door cracked/the little fan inside the pod on don't do much to help."
