8/10 Very good

Really friendly staff, very accommodating. Bed was extremely comfy. The only two downsides was the location as it is very close to the train line and the horns of the trains are fairly constant from the early hours of the morning, and it is very solitary to walk around at night.

I stayed here for 1 night. It was my first time in a hostel and I was highly impressed. It’s very clean, well kept and safe (24hr concierge and locks on the entrance to building and your room). They have different activities everyday to socialize with other travellers. I will definitely will be staying here again.

I was checked in sooner when I arrived I stayed in a mixed bed dorm 4quad no issues, they communicated quickly and the food there was also great. It was quiet, sheets were cleaned and they answered all my questions. Will be back again.

This hostel is better than the pictures advertised, the staff are very friendly and respectful. Plenty of room in the main area to hangout and meet people. Front door is a buzz to open door, which I’m sure makes some people feel more safe. Hostel also offers massage services and I think they do 10 minutes for free with purchase. They have a small shop next door if you need snacks, drinks or a beer, in the back of the shop they have electric scooters you can rent. Staff are very lenient with things but are strict on the 12AM rule if you are out in the main area you shouldn’t be making loud noises which is understandable. There are many restaurants/ pubs close by here. La cali, China town, downtown are close walking distance from the hostel. Overall the only thing I’m able to complain about is alcohol if you are drinker like me just walk to a bar nearby haha don’t forget to give the kitty pets he likes to hangout by this hostel a lot

8/10 Very good

Très bon emplacement, proche du centre-ville et les restaurants. Quartier sécurisé. Très bonne ambiance de l’hostel avec des activités un groupe WhatsApp actif. Une laverie à disposition et de multiples services. Eau bien chaude avec beaucoup de pression appréciable. Le seul point négatif est le bruit car comme de multiples établissements, les fenêtres sont très mal isolées. Il s’agit juste d’un simple vitrage. On entend le bruit des voitures et surtout il y a un train qui passe juste à côté et qui siffle dès l’aube jusqu’au soir. Prévoyez vos boules Quies. Je pense qu’il faudrait changer les fenêtres, quelque chose de plus isolant.
