I stayed at Ninja in Nov 2008. We had no problems with bedbugs. It was a quiet place in the sense of not being a party place, but there was a downstairs common area that seemed to attract people, complete with big screen TV and a kitchenette which was sufficient enough to rustle ourselves up something to eat. The bunkbeds were a bit rickety and the walls were a bit thin with respect to noise, but not so much that we couldn't sleep. Though, this being not long after our arrival, we probably could have slept through a tornado.
