Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was an absolute dump...No nice way to say it! The entire facility smelled like vomit and mold (In fact, there was vomit in the hallway when we woke up). We left after 1 night. The staff did make an effort to keep it clean, but the disrepair was just too extensive. I've seen homeless shelters in better condition than this facility. I can not stress enough how poor the condition of this facility was. It goes without saying that it was extremely overpriced for the condition of the property. I would definitely not recommend this place to my worst enemy!

Fantastic location right on top of stellar venue. My room was a bit dull: I came back only at like midnight and everyone was in bed with the lights out, and no one else was up yet when I woke up at 8am. The hostel did sponsor an event for the guests every night so if you want to be social I think you can definitely get that here though

総合的にいいが、エレベーターがない

エレベーターがないので荷物が多い人には向かないと思います。 立地は繁華街にあるので申し分ないです。荷物預かりや印刷もしてくれます。 飛行機利用者が多いのか、たまたまなのか分かりませんが、10人部屋でひっきりなしで出たり入ったりでした。 キッチンは一通りの物が置いてありかなり便利でした。 荷物が少ないときにはまた利用したいです。

Lo bueno, las instalaciones muy bien, limpias y de buen tamaño, la atencion super amable, el desayuno ayuda bastante, la ubicación cerda de muchos lugares de interes. Lo malo, no tiene elevador, por lo que debes subir tu equipaje por las escaleras y cuando es mucho y pesado, pues ya te imaginarás. Al final es una buena experiencia y de buen precio considerando otras opciones similares, definitivamente recomendable.

The property is pretty dated and dirty but it’s because they are so busy all the time. The staff is super nice! My first night there I arrived pretty late and my bed did not have a pillow...I incorrectly thought maybe we needed to bring our own and I ended up having a miserable night of sleep. The next day I noticed all the other beds had pillows so I asked for one and they brought it later. None of the other beds had two pillows so mine was def just not ready. Breakfast is sufficient. You’re close to everything. Even though I booked late and it was for a mixed room, they put me with others of the same gender so I appreciated that.

It's a hostel, so do not expect much. The location is the best part about this place. But it is also a downfall since there's no A/C and the window has to be cracked open in summer, resulting in constant street noise way into the evening, partying until 4:30 am, and construction noise starting up at 5:30 am. The stair railings were sticky, like paint that could never dry because of high humidity. The room floor slants toward the street. The bed is hard as a board and the linens thin and scratchy. The towels we were given at the front-desk were frayed and did not smell clean. We were told breakfast was included in our rate and that it started at 7:00 am, but when we made our way down to the lobby from our room and back up a different set of stairs to the kitchen, we found that if you didn't buy your own ingredients the night before to cook for breakfast, then you were going hungry.
