Everything was good, the only suggestion I would give it’s to put charges closer to the beds. The only 2 by the kitchen for everyone to use.

Conveniently located
I had booked a single private room but was given a room with six beds. Weird, but ok. They did react quickly when I told them the window didn’t latch, and when they realized it couldn’t be fixed quickly I was moved to another room right away. This second room also had six beds. Everything was clean, staff was friendly, common space on ground floor was cozy. Tram stops directly in front, there’s a convenience store at the corner, and a grocery store half a block further.

Cold room
Hostel was great, room was good, location excellent. I would give it 5 stars if room was warm. The heater was insufficient for the room size and even at the maximum setting, it was cold inside.
