The location is the best, it's a few blocks from a metro station so it was very convenient. The bed was very comfy and the room has enough space. The rooftop area is very relaxing, I'll definitely stay here again.
There's nothing negative about this place, the only thing i would mention is that an individual soap would be good since there wasn't one but besides that everything was perfect.

It was one of best hostel in LAS. I love it so much, view location and most important it was clean. Restaurant was perfect.
The staff was not polite and they didn’t help at all. I am still waiting for my deposit, pls help me with it. Old staff, who work as robot have to improve themselves, other wise they will lose guest even if hostel has best option for travelers .
