Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a private room or request a higher floor to reduce noise from the bar and street.

  • 02

    Use the same-day luggage storage to explore the city hands-free before check-in or after check-out.

  • 03

    Bring a portable fan or earplugs-rooms lack air conditioning and windows are not soundproof.

  • 04

    Plan your parking in advance: no on-site parking, but nearby garages and free street parking (10pm-9am) are available.

  • 05

    Confirm the 19+ age policy for all guests; the hostel cannot accommodate children or pets.
