Staff were very friendly and facilitated my change of booking at the last minute. The guest house were very clean. There was a large kitchen living space so you can cook your meals. There was a welcoming feeling and guests were mingling in the common area. The hostel was easily accessible on the subway one stop from the train station, it was easy to plan your route using google maps search for Shiori Ann. Great value.
