Have stayed here a couple of times and it’s a pretty good hostel. Was in a 6 bed room and liked the privacy that each bed had. Good daytime activities and a bar downstairs so easy to be social. Great facilities, I would stay again if I’m back in the city

The hostel is located in a main street, 6 or 7 minutes away from 2 subway stations. Perfect location. The staffs were nice and fun. They propose multiple services like Luggage BNB, Umbrella Sharing, Tour Booking, Bar and numerous activities for a small fee.

Few bathrooms for the amount of people. There was no enough distance between the lower and the upper bed. Was not possible to sit in the lower bed (and I am short). Noisy beds... If one person moves a little bit, the others wake up...
The best things about this hostel are the activities. Happens every day and are very good!

Not have liquid soap for bath. Everywhere has. I understand there is no such option, but they could make it clear at the time of booking or in the paper they deliver at check in with instructions. Just realizing that there is no soap when you are going to take a shower is not very pleasant.
Breakfast is good, facilities are large, have several bathrooms. Very good.

No TV despite staff confirming we were supposed to have one. Absolutely no compensation from them + messy check in (room hadn't been cleaned at all so they moved us to a smaller room! Had to insist to get the correct room again). Don't expect to sleep without earplugs.
Good breakfast, nice vibes, comfy private rooms.

The rooms are extremely small and basic. You can not bypass each other to reach your bed, you need to wait for the other person to pass to advance ot your bed. The rooms also look a bit run down and the hallways weren't particularly clean tbh.
From my experience (sayed in over 10 hostels in the past 5 years) this is probably the hostel with the best breakfast options in terms of quality and offer. They have a lot of fresh cut fruit, good coffes, various options for milk, eggs, cheese, butter, pancakes, 3 options for bagles and ofc maple syrup. There is more to choose from but that is what I immediately recal.
