Previous visitors are often inclined to regard Smart City Hostels as their home-away-from-home. With convenient amenities--such as complimentary Wi-Fi, bar service, and 24-hour reception--one's stay is anything but ill-accommodated. Private dorms are available, consisting of twins, triples, quads, and six-person rooms.

However spacious and comfortable, the sleeping arrangements at Smart City Hostels are often subject to noise from the ground floor bar, as well as rowdy passersby. Previous visitors have expressed their frustration with enduring little sleep, as commotion emitting from the bar can be heard well into the evening.

While Smart City Hostels provides guests with complimentary Wi-Fi, some have found difficulty when attempting to connect from the dorms. Although Wi-Fi accessibility tends to be a bit sounder in other residents' facilities, the connection speed may be slower than what most are familiar with.

Previous residents of this city-centre hostel have borne complaints over the condition of some facilities. In addition to creaking floor boards, leaking faucets, scuffed counter tops, and frayed drapes have incurred the negative attention of guests.
