I have stayed in more than 20 hostels in Europe and USA by now and this one was the best! I have never seen such a clean (cleaner than most hotels) and huge hostel before. I also liked the helpful staff and the events they organize nearly every night to explore the city. Location is not that perfect if you want to be exactly at the center of the city, but it is ok. Free breakfast is also good but it should not end at 9:30, it is too early to finish the breakfast.

Hi Hui Ying: Thanks for your review! We're always happy to hear back from our customers. I'm sorry that you didn't find the room to be warm enough for you. We have a dedicated steam radiator heating system that is governed by outdoor air temperature. Our staff is always happy to investigate any issues and guest preference with heat. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Sincerely, Mat Meadows, CHA General Manager
