Really convenient location, though it's best to open the windows slightly during the day to help with the ventilation.

The staff. One person who checked me in on September 11th (evening) did an outstanding job taking her time introducing me to the hostel and it’s service, plus giving me some great suggestions on the map you all provide. I’m sorry I forgot her name.

All I need to spend a night between the transatlantic travel by plane and taking an international bus trip next day!
Excellent stay.

Great hostel in terms of location, breakfast, and facilities. The only downside is it was so hard to sleep because of the street noise, light coming in from outside, and the room being quite hot and stuffy even with the window open.
