Will not be staying here again. 4 bed dorm was a private room converted into 4 beds, with one bed right in the middle. Very weird placement and no where to store your bags. People are extremely loud and I did not have any sleep. This was my second time and I can confirm that both times have been terrible. Bathrooms were not clean or refilled.

The hostel states there would be breakfast but that’s little to nothing with so many people in the limited dining space. The staff was very rude when I asked them questions especially the one at night. I asked them for a plastic bag and they were so rude when I told them I need a medium sized bag and said that doesn’t help me in an extremely rude way so I had to tell them I don’t have dimensions for plastic bags memorized. I was talking to them in a low voice as it was night and they very rudely said speak normally. I asked the staff to look into the broken shower curtain and they said can’t do anything will report without being nice about it. The washroom had free toiletries compartment which was only empty the whole time I was staying in the hostel.

City center hostel with all the perks.

This is typical of a HI hostel but raised the bar. Though didn't partake in the free breakfast due to fasting but the place was awesome. Friendly and helpful staff and always ready to assist. Right at the City Center and very close to all forms of transportation. I rate it A+++
