The staff that I originally interacted with was friendly but there were a couple staff members who seemed like they could care less when approached. The rooms were clean, but the showers were lackluster and right fitting. Having to use your key card everytime to access the nearest bathroom was a pain.

It is what it is.

This is my third time staying here, but first time in the summer. I happened to stay during one of the heat waves, no AC, windows barely open, even after the temp cooled off outside it still remained uncomfortably hot inside the room. There’s a separate women’s only bathroom that was out of order that made the only one on the floor a lot busier than it should have been. The neighbourhood was great, and proximity to the tube was perfect! I guess at the end of the day you just need to know that you get what you pay for. A convenient place to sleep near transit, but lacks some creature comforts.

The stay wa good overall. A clean place, nice people, good breakfast. The only thing I regret is that there was a roommate who was very noisy and even ate in bed while we wanted to sleep.. But that is not the fault of the hostel, so it was all barbarous in general lines. I will definitely return!
