We loved staying here it is very central and we loved being able to walk everywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The bar was convenient we did not use the breakfast so we aren’t too sure of the options but it’s a great location that is very central and walkable to different destinations. If you go here we recommend making a trip to Bold Street Coffee and Maki & Ramen.

This is presented on Expedia as a much better quality hotel than it is. In fact it's a hostel, but this is not made clear on the site. The room was adequate but had chips and marks on the walls and furniture, and there was an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke.
