Room was hot, A/C didn’t work. Beds were so loud and squeaky. Shower didnt drain well and the bathroom floor ended up flooded. Tried to soak it up with the floor towel and it showed how super dirty the floor was.

We took a taxi from the airport. It's in an area close to the airport that's not surrounded by other hotels. It's frequented by large youth sports teams. Pleasant staff and soooooo clean. Walkable to small local shops and restaurants. Great value for the money

It’s an older place, but large room. Pretty good price compared to other hotel. About 10 minute walk to the subway. takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get to City center from this hotel. It’s only about 10 or 15 minute ride to the airport terminal one.

Disliked: Amenities
Our AC did not work. It was “eco friendly” And supposed to work by sensor. We stayed here for one evening just to be close to the airport to travel home, and I feel we were not fully informed about this hostel. It was some sort of education campus? We still aren’t quite sure. Would not stay here again. Would spend more money on a regular hotel
