I stayed in the single room which was very clean and the AC until worked very well. The bed was a bit low and the mattress sagged. It was fine for a few days but just a warning for those with back issues. The staff was very friendly and helpful when answering questions about the area.

Staff were friendly and nice. We stayed in a private room towards the back and we couldn’t hear street noise. Easy to hear doors closing and bathrooms from the room. Lots of food at breakfast. Eating area gets busy. Very eclectic area which we were fine with but if you are looking for fancy and don’t love all walks of life-this might not be the area for you. We easily walked downtown but transit is very close. Overall our stay was good, no complaints.

The hostel is well-located, making it easy to walk around the city. However, be aware that there are many homeless people and individuals using substances nearby. We stayed over the weekend, and the hostel is situated on a street with bars that can get noisy. The hostel staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is excellent, and the private room we stayed in was very comfortable.

Clean room with enough space for a couple, showers and bath shared for each floor, but very clean and modernized, no wait ever. Breakfast bagels, banana/orange/apple, coffee/milk/tea, few types of cereal and diet cereal milk, etc, and you get to wash your own dishes at the end. Luggage rack for later departures. Location, location, location. Memorable experience for a couple in their 60's surrounded by college students, This young generation is doing well after all! Excellent! One of the best values for my money, ever.

Great location, staff very helpful, nice breakfast, comfortable beds. If something I have to mention is that there is only 1 WC per floor (or at least I only noticed one) for so many people might be not enough, however I never had to wait to use it and it was decently/relatively clean so I don't complain.
