Liked: Not bad location, close to the subway which gets you everywhere... and hostel has its own bar

Disliked: There wasnt much that i didnt like about this property... possibly if the owners gave you $5 a day for being so awsome, or even if they just said your a great guy everytime i walk past one of them then maybe it could be better in that sence

Liked: Beautiful building and nice communal space/kitchen. The friendliest 'big' hostel I've been in.

Disliked: Only downside seemed to be the shortage of bathrooms - only one shower for 12 beds. Nice shower but bit of a wait if the room was full.
