Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's convenient location, with easy access to restaurants and nearby attractions, making it a favorable spot for budget travelers. The friendly service provided by the staff was also well-received. However, many guests expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms, which were often not maintained to a satisfactory level. Additionally, the lack of soundproofing in the rooms made for a noisy environment, impacting guests' ability to sleep comfortably. Overall, the hotel offers good value for the price, but improvements in cleanliness and noise management are necessary.AI-Generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Location. That is literally the only upside here.
Cons (-) This hostel has literally ZERO soundproofing. It is attached to a band practice space/karaoke space, which I get is part of the draw for some people but there is NO WAY TO SLEEP here. It is like being at a concert-even on the third floor, constantly until almost midnight, and after that even just your neighbor opening and closing a door, or the street noise is so loud that I had to put in noise ca...

Cons (-) Dirty
Pros (+) Everyone is friendly. Was not worried or paranoid rooming with so many strangers.
Cons (-) Since bathrooms are shared, the hotel should be cleaning them more frequently. People go in and out and not everyone is a clean person. I had to clean the counters because everything was wet and there was no place to set my things. There was water all over the floor and need to be careful how you walk.
Pros (+) Such a nice hostel for the price. Did not feel like a last minute option.
Pros (+) Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. The building has a lot of character and is in a relatively convenient location (a little far from the BART station).
Cons (-) Not a lot of noise insulation from other rooms or hallway.
Pros (+) I like hostels because they're a good value for an area of the city that can otherwise be pricey. The staff is laid back yet professional and knowledgable about the local area. I stayed in a small room with plenty of storage, sink, fridge and TV. I liked having the large window to the courtyard/ open area that you can open completely.
Cons (-) I was worried about getting enough sleep because of the music rehearsal studio that is in the basement. While in my room at 9pm I could hear the band play muffled but clearly. The tv would cover the sound easily. This went on and off till 11. I could hear some construction sounds from next door through the open area out my window until 7pm, but not again until after 9am.
Pros (+) I did like that the owner promotes music. I am not a musician, nor do I ever wish to be. But Googling this "Music City" Hotel has a few haters. When I left (today ) 10-09-2015 there was construction adjacent to the hotel (next door) looking inside ... I think there is expansion in the future. Good for this owner to foster Music. AND young musicians. Julie
