Hotel is close to acland st, which is great, as you need to stay out as late as possible to avoid the terrible karaoke, and the even worse mix of music that the over excited first time backpackers were screaming too until 2am.. being awake all night is fine, backpacking is awesome, but there is never an excuse for playing probably the worst music that was ever made.. just around the corner are actual talented musicians and beautiful dj sets, then returning to the 'friends' soundtrack, viva las vegas and 50 other rubbish songs is a crap end to a great night. Just because you have a hostel full of 20 yr olds is no excuse for playing this commercial garbage.
