Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy environment outside
Guests of the hostel often mention the loud and hectic environment outside, commenting they are often woken up by the morning rush hour beginning. The location is opposite a very busy train station and thus sees a great deal of traffic, including pedestrians, outside at all hours.
negative:
Wifi doesn’t reach rooms
The complimentary Wi-Fi offered by this property is only available in the common areas of the hostel. Multiple guests find it frustrating that they can not enjoy Wi-Fi from the comfort and privacy of their own rooms.
