I recommend this place for affordability and location. Much cheaper than a hotel, and the double bed-room was comfortable. Some of the finishes were a little worn, but for a hostel, I can't complain. I recommend for solo travelers.

Stay away!!
The only good thing about this hostel is the location as it is a street away from the metro station. Aside from that, this is the filthiest hostel I have ever stayed in. I place looks like a hoarders live in the “kitchen area.” The refrigerator hasn’t been cleaned in over a year, food is shoved into every nook, extension cords are a bliss and the floor hasn’t not been mopped since installed. When can be found, the staff is not at all helpful at providing simple information that they should know. The rooms are less than halfway decent in comfort but look as though the walls will soon crumble from lack of construction and patching. There was a girl who, for two nights slept in the kitchen and did not move, as to be passed out from a night of hard drinking. Another girl who must be living there would dry her hair at the dining tables and brush her teeth in the kitchen sink rather than use the bathroom in her assigned room. Fortunately I wasn’t expecting much and slept there only for three hours and used the place as a luggage storage and location to charge my phone. I do not recommend this place to anyone no mater the price.

The staff was excellent! They stayed an hour late for us to check in when we didn’t know what time check in ended. And the room was very clean and well decorated! We felt right at home. We will definitely be coming here again! (And will be there before check in ends! Sorry!)

Very friendly atmosphere. Nice kitchen with drinks available. I was originally booked into the larger mixed dorm but got upgraded to the 6-bed female dorm when I arrived, which was really good for me as a young solo female traveller. Really convenient, central location. Overall, a comfortable and easy stay!

It is a pretty cool hostel. I had a private room. It was the perfect size for one. Hostel is super close to subway exit. During my time there, there was 2 different front desk guys. They were both friendly, respectful, & helpful.
