I was lucky that I was the only person occupying the 4-beds space most of the time, so I cannot comment on what other people said about the rooms being 'cramped'. The staff is amazing, everybody is very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms/showers were pretty small but okay overall. The AC in the rooms worked very well, the WiFi was great. The whole building including the rooftop area is very clean, nice and cozy. I definitely recommend staying here. It is pricey, but you can't get this quality at this location for less.
