03 December 2011 KENJI would recommend this property

Liked: Very helpful and friendly staffs, clean room and bathrooms. Bath rooms are shared but wide and comfortable enough. Towel can be replaced everyday without any fee. Perfect location, Walkable to Museum of Fine Arts and ISGW Museum, 3min to the metro station. Very nice hostel.

Disliked: Sometimes shower gets cold, and a ladder to the upper bed was unstable because the length of it doesn't fit to the height of the bed.

Liked: - very good location (close to subway and city center) - tasteful coffee and good breakfast - very friendly and helpful stuff - I had a good stay there and would go back, also when I find the price quite high in comparison to other cities

Disliked: - the room was too little for 6 people (very narrow) - the wifi was weak and it took forever to build up webpages and I didn't find it good that the wifi was only available in the reception room and kitchen, not on rooms - also I really dislike that you had to pay for the internet on a computer and that there was a minimum charge of 2 dollars (20 min)- when you only want to check emails for few minutes is it waste of money -> in my previous hostels was even one computer with free internet (Regarding question 7: I don't remember if HostelBookers was promoted at the hostel)

Disliked: computerfees

21 September 2011 Santiago would recommend this property

Liked: it's nice, rather clean, and has a good atmosphere and common areas. You even have a kitchen where to cook (and save some money, instead of eating in restaurants or similar). The free breakfast was fine, too, and the staff are more friendly than in your average US hostel.

Disliked: I believe that someone (probably a roommate) took the money out of my wallet. I should have used the lockers, as roommates were changing almost every day. Also, rooms are rather small for the ammount of people that have to get in, but I guess it's what you get for that price.

09 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The central location
