Many guests found the hostel to be very noisy. Many guests tend to arrive late at night and even if your room is filled with early birds, the sound insulation in the building isn't the best. Guests complained about hearing neighbouring rooms' conversations, and slamming doors in the hallways. It is highly recommended that you bring some earplugs on your trip to ensure a good night's sleep,
