The negative reviews are laughable honestly. People pay 25$ a night and expect an hotel experience? If you want a pristine and calm place, don't bother, but otherwise it's a cool place with interesting people.

This a real "auberge de jeunesse" experience, and almost feels like a good old tavern sometimes. It has an extremely cozy atmosphere and we found the staff to be really nice. The 5$ breakfasts are also a very nice option.

The main hall is noisy and lively, but we found the rooms level to be pretty calm. Only complaint would be that the right side bed in room J cracks REALLY bad.
