Air conditioning was barely cold at times. It helped that the weather was chilly at night to help sleep better. One night at 11 pm a maintance guy came in the room and started hammering something on a bed really loudly. Other than that I liked the cleanliness, the events they have for the guests, the location and the subway near by.

I was pleasantly surprised. I had no real expectations due to the budget price, but it exceeded them. When settling in they were organizing a mixer and bar crawl. Totally unexpected so I joined. The other travelers were also very nice. I would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The best thing about this hostel is that its close to the 1 and other transportation. But that's about it. The rooms were unbearably hot. They had the units on a schedule set to 82. Even if you turned them down after a few hours it would go back up to 82. I woke up sweating. The rooms themselves were clean but everything else, barely. It smelled in the hallways and they wear very dirty and the tiles stained. The elevator is super slow. The showers had mold in them. The staff themselves were friendly. The cafe downstairs didnt open until 6:50 so inconvenient for anyone needing food or coffee prior to starting the day. Overall, i would not return. I've stayed at much better hotels for less.
