Design is really good in a lot of ways in this hostel. There are many clean bathrooms on each floor. They have bathmats. Showers are warm. I like that they have little nooks for each bed with electrical outlets for plugging in phones. THey also have a nice are at the entrance to sit and relax with a huge window to the street. Lots of other common spaces.

The location, there was stong garbage stink right outside the lobby area when you enter the hostel. I am sure it is from the restaurants that leave their garbage overnight.

The breakfast was simple but sufficient. You could it toast, cereals, and an apple. Coffee (with milk) and tea were offered as well. I attended a tour to the museum of modern art and I enjoyed having a chat with the volunteers and other guests.

There are too many homeless around the hostel when it gets dark. Check-in hours is too late. Check-out hours is 11.00 am and they get extra money ($3) for keeping luggages.
