    At least provide some seasoning in the kitchen room, Storage space for food is not enough so definitely check if there is still available space before you buy your foods

    Great location, and friendly staff, I booked a female bedroom and I'd say the space is good enough for 4 ppl

    Well maintained facilities. Nice patio. Room faced an inner yard and it was quiet.

    No hair dryer or TV. Bad isolation and ventilation. The room was next to the common kitchen so it was very noisy and all the smells somehow entered the room.

    I stayed at the private deluxe queen room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom nice. Everything was clean. Good location, short walk from Bart, felt safe and street was quiet.

    Some inconsiderate guests could come in late at night and making noises by eating chips. My feedback to hostel management is to disallow eating or drinking inside the shared dorm room. Better to set a rule so they should only eat / drink in the lounge area or private room. Cleaning is not done every day so the room and bathroom can get dirty after a few days.

    - Location is within walking distance to Powell Street and Union Square. - Comfortable lounge area and decent space for kitchen and dining - Equipped with Laundry facilities, washing machine and dryer are available

    I can't think of many things honestly, only thing that comes to my mind is that in the bathroom there wasn't handsoap, didn't ask for it though since I had my own and my stay was quite short. Also, since the location is uphill, I would recommend other travellers to arrive by any type of car so you don't tire tourselves too much carring your luggages uphill.... if you wanna arrive walking try walking along Bush ST. and then turn left on Taylor ST. In my experience it felt less tiring that way :)

    Very quick check-in, the staff were always available to help whenever I asked for directions or recommendations for places to visit. The kitchen was nice place to cook something quick or have a cup of tea o coffee when you wanted, also the patio/terrace area was really nice even at night when it was windy in the city, you couldn't feel it there bc of the walls around it. The room was what it was described, very clean and neat, remember to take a lock with you so you can use your storage box without feeling worried about the other people sharing the room with you. Lastly, it was nice that there was a room available to leave your bags the day you check-out if needed.

    Bed was hard to climb on at times but was comfy enough for good rest.

    Location was amazing: close to all public transportation, stores, and restaurants. Rooms can feel a little cramped depending on the roommates luggage but was still clean and comfy enough to rest well.

    The rooms shouldn’t be co for all. As if Muslim men andwomen are staying alone. They get very uncomfortable.

    The noise you hear of people talking at reception from the room. I heard a drunk man screaming at night. The bed was not comfortable.

    The kitchen, I could make some coffee.
