Excellent cleanliness, including the (spacious) shared bathroom. Appreciated the staff flexibility in allowing me to change my check-in time from 5pm to midnight on the morning of my arrival. Subway is easily walkable though it's worth making a note of the nearby cross-streets if taking a taxi. The only down-side was the size of the room - I had booked a 2-bed private room, which turned out to be a narrow bunk room. As a solo traveller it was cramped, would be much worse with 2.

Good to stay here. Very quiet. Good kichen and good laundry. People are friendly. It is a little pity that in my room there is no reading lump. And the toilet water level is too high,easy to be splashed, so I am a little nervous when going to toilets.

We booked a 3-person bedroom (we thought 3 seperate beds) but unfortunately there were 2 twin-beds. The hostel was clean and fine though. Nice kitchen, washrooms and a great living room.

We were put in a pretty small room with a double bed with one window nearly completely obstructed by a brick wall. Our room was never cleaned. That being said, it had a nice fully equipped kitchen, nice bathroom, and it's in a great location. It's an alright place for the money.

The hotel is nice, very clean and new commom areas. The rooms are small but have a good enough size. We were happy with our rooms except for the fact that they were both just in front of the kitchen and there was no sound isolation whatsoever. I could hear even when people whispered as if the door was open. Other than that, have to say i was surprised by the quality of the common areas. very pretty, new and clean
