Unfortunately, it was advertised on Expedia as more of a hotel and not a hostel, for the particular room we reserved. There was no phone or no refrigerator. The pictures on Expedia showed a large window overlooking the area. When in fact it was a large circular "porthole" almost 2 meters off the floor. It was nothing like what we expected for the mount paid per night. I had prescription medication that required refrigeration. I was told "Not to worry", we can put them in the common use refrigerator, which all backpackers have access to. They were finally able to come up with a few frozen ice bags. They were kind enough to take my ice bags and put them in the employee refrigerator. ***Be aware that all forms of transportation, with the exception of the light rail, cannot pick-up or drop off at the front entrance. Uber & taxis have to stop a1/2 block away in an alley or across the street at the bus stop. Not particularly bad if all you have is a backpack. But, when you have several suitcases and hand carried it is very inconvenient. It was not mentioned when booking. I will compliment the staff for doing all they could do to assist us with the issues and helping on checkout with our luggage. I would highly recommend for backpackers, but for the same cost per night those looking for hotel type amenities, hotels are available in the area.

I loved the convenient location for transport to all parts of the city; the staff were great-very kind and helpful. Great value for two sharing a room with ensuite. Took me a while to acquaint myself with the procedures for self-cooking, food storage etc in the communal kitchen and dining rooms, but people were helpful. Bed was really comfortable. No complaints!

Nice just for backpackers
This is a nice place for backpackers with good kitchen facility. However it is not a normal hotel. The room condition was too poor. Too noisy all over nights, no table or shampoo. I paid $8 for leaving luggages for 5hrs. It is worth no more than $90 per night.

Good ideas but access to kitchen, how to use the card in the lifts and easy access to working laundry all caused problems. Good value and will be far easier to navigate in the unlikely event I stay again.

Good location and convenience to everything
Check-in was quick and easy. Very clean in the whole building. Renovation is still underway in some area but did not affect my stay. Two things that I have come across. First one is that I was inside the same lift with an extremely smelly man (not shower for few days). I hope he was not staying in shared dome room. Secondly, minor urine smell coming out from a number of toilet bowls on 6th floor.
