Room was very small for being a Superior king and more than $200. Pillows were under sized. Elevators were slow and far. Halls and people on the street were loud. Staff were relatively friendly. But charging for bag storage when you already charged 200 for the room seems excessive 20 room

The property is very dumpy. The hallway walk to the rooms had patched walls and the carpet is extremely warn down and dirty. At arrival in our room, the curtains were half hanging off the rails, the chair was ragged, and the shower had a terrible smell. From the condition of the hallways, we assumed there would be no point in asking for a better room. After staying at the truly impressive Next House hostel/hotel for the previous few days, this was a depressing transition. We'd wanted to experience a few different locations in the city, so the central and vibrant location was the highlight of this stay. .

This Hostel is super close to everything. It’s about 350 m from the metro station at the center of town.. that makes it a one line 7 stop ride from the airport, which is great. It also puts it at the center all the tourist attractions. The only downsides are: the rooms are a little cramped, and the building can get heated up if it’s a hot day outside (I was there in September so just opening the window fix the problem, but I could see that during the heat of the summer it could be a bigger issue). I liked it a lot. I’m going back.
