Great location near a myriad of public transit options, breakfast was always the same but a solid start to the day with it being included, and generally a clean and fun vibe throughout the hostel. The biggest drawback during our stay specifically was the elevator going out of service during the 2nd or 3rd day of our stay and remaining broken, and we were were staying on the 6th floor.
