Cons: Hostel no longer does tours, staff is not 24/7, rooms were not climate controlled, I have tons of bed bug bites from my 2 night stay. Pros: Mattress was comfy and staff are nice.

A new discovery for me and I had a good experience. I was only there for a short time so can only comment on my few hours. The lockers are very small so you can't fit a lot of stuff. I could not find a window to open in my room which made it smell a bit but nothing I couldn't handle. The location is good. There's a metro stop 5-10 min walk and then a 3 min ride to the central station. A 10-15 min walk to China Town, so good location. I would however like female only dorms. Just as an FYI if your a light sleeper. There's communal WC, showers and lockers outside the doors which makes it quite noicy. I would consider this property again.

I booked the 8 dorm room, but ended up having it all to myself which was a nice surprise! The bed was comfy, over looking a canal and the room was at a nice temperature. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the hostel had such a nice, relaxing vibe. The chill area was a great place to talk to new people, watch movies and make food. It's pretty close to the tram and metro, even though I ended up walking everywhere. I'd happily return to this cute hostel!

It looks cute outside- but shower is bootleg- you have to continually press a button so the water doesn’t shut off mid shower which is very annoying. Also the door to my room wouldn’t shut properly unless you slammed it and even then sometimes it wouldn’t work- I told someone there and they were just so nonchalant about it. I didn’t feel safe to leave anything so I took my stuff with me everyday. I liked the central location but would not stay here again given what it cost.

Bathrooms weren't always spotless, but otherwise the place is very clean and nice. Breakfast was VERY slow and basic (one morning it took 20 minutes for them to get us a bagel and cream cheese), but the hotel is still a great value and a perfect location.
