A little issue in the beginning with the availability with my bed, but it got resolved really quickly. Amazing customer service. Really great location, for the price.

Comfortable, central, friendly-but hard to sleep!
The hostel is in a very central, great location close to 6th street. The check-in process was easy and they were able to hold my bags since i got in early. There is a kitchen area and shared bathroom with 2 women's toilets and i believe 3 showers. The room was standard fare 8-bed hostel but it was comfortable and i was able to take a midday nap before dinner. The biggest complaint: the hostel is above a bar/club, which might be great for hangining out-- but the music and vibrations were SO loud until 2am that i could not sleep. You could feel it in the room/bed. I had earplugs too so it was less about volume and more about not being able to get away from FEELING the music! Made for a tough time when i had to get up at 4am for my flight!

There was a very loud party that lasted until 2/3 in the morning. There is no free parking, you have paid parking on the street, that's very expensive!
And I paid 50 dollar for "sleeping" in bunk bed in a dorm, ridiculous!
Really a shame! In Holland we call this geldklopperij
