A decent stay if you are not expecting too much. Place is pretty small and can feel packed, but if you can settle yourself in, it's a okay place to spend few nights. The area itself is not exactly great as there are many homeless in there. Hostel felt safe even with the area not being the best.

Good value for an excellent location. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to sleep, with a fully equipped kitchen and a great communal space. As long as you don't mind sharing a room, bathroom, etc. Helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay.
