Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is great, but they have to remind the other guests this is a shared bedroom so they need to respect quiet hours, there was people getting in and out the dormitory all night long walking fast and moving things noisily with no consideration at all. Beside noisy neighbors all great with the place.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First time staying in a hostel and loved it. Was close to the subway and many grocery stores/parks and restaurants. Felt safe because all the cameras around and you need a key card to get inside and then again to get close to the rooms. Front desk was ok but also heard them talking about guests so 3 stars for that. There’s also a lot of travelers from around the world with different mannerisms so I was woken up a few times by people being loud and slamming doors at 7am but besides that I loved it I’d definitely book again.

Late check in was very quick and easy. Front desk was a bit grumpy but it was midnight so whatever. The room (10 bed women) was clean with great storage and enough privacy. The showers could be a bit cleaner (hair in the drain) and more sinks would be fortunate but overall for the price it was enough.
