    "A great place with the nice atmosphere." source Hostelworld

    "Good HOTEL, this is not a hostel." source Hostelworld

    "THe location was great, and for the price it was fine." source Hotels.com

  • Room: Rating of 3.0 out of 5

    "The rooms are bare except for a few random pictures and all the rooms are named for diffrent bands kind of a cool idea but smoking through out the build leads to a generally dirty feeling Fresh sheets every day though and although the shower backed up around my feet." source Hostelworld

    "Every room has a music artist theme with murials and pictures up in the rooms of that artist." source Expedia
