Liked: the location, the price, the facilities

Disliked: i didnt like the treatment of the staff, people seemed to be always upset with something, dont have patience to explain things (I must underline that it was not to everybody, just two, a guy and a girl, that I did not like). So, its important to the people have kindness and patience.

Liked: Good location close to subway, downtown shopping & dining district, and large selection of restaurants just around the corner. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Free breakfast is good, plus surprise free dinners occasionally.

Disliked: Room got way too hot at times but central heating meant we couldn't turn the temperature down. Showers took over 5 minutes to become warm. Water was switched off for a few hours on two of the days we were here due to a burst pipe

21 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Hi International it's a hostel very famous around the U.S and other Countries, so the good part is that we already know what to expect about them, whereas you already visited any of their hostels before. They offer always a lot of tourists information and this is very good. Specially who are travelling alone. And the ambient is very friendly. The breakfast was good too.

Disliked: I though the room I got was cold and they didn't offer a hot shower, only cold.

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.

29 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

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)
