The best thing about this hostel is that its close to the 1 and other transportation. But that's about it. The rooms were unbearably hot. They had the units on a schedule set to 82. Even if you turned them down after a few hours it would go back up to 82. I woke up sweating. The rooms themselves were clean but everything else, barely. It smelled in the hallways and they wear very dirty and the tiles stained. The elevator is super slow. The showers had mold in them. The staff themselves were friendly. The cafe downstairs didnt open until 6:50 so inconvenient for anyone needing food or coffee prior to starting the day. Overall, i would not return. I've stayed at much better hotels for less.
