Loved this place! Easy to walk to from my bus stop and close to restaurants/subway stations. Only issue was street noise and they happened to be out of earplugs.

Flooded bathroom - daily. No air conditioning- unbearably hot. Noisier than a frat house. Worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life.

Areas aren’t cleaned, lounge area stayed unclean for the entire weeks stay, questionable if the commons areas were reset or cleaned each day.

The property is quaint, especially when you consider it's history. I felt safe in my room that had two locks inside. However, even as someone with bilateral hearing loss, it is very noisy. Not sure why, but is was super hot in my cubicle. Uncomfortably so. Would stay again if it were under 100 dollars.

The hostel was ok. If you are on a very low budget it's ok. The "pods" had paper thin walls and no ceilings so noises from fellow guests were heard and therefore I had disturbed nights. It was my first time in a hostel so wasn't sure what to expect. I won't be going again however it was really conveniently placed in the city
