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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 place to stay if you're travelling solo! i was staying in a all women dorm, and the room was very clean and well ventilated, which was definitely nice with this beginni of summer weather. the breakfast was very simple (bagels, cereals and/or apples and bananas), but it was quite nice to be able to munch a little bit for free in the morning :) well located and sound proof, there was a party across the street at a bar but i couldn't hear anything from my room!
