Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean, convenient walking distance. The only thing I didn't like was that the beds were assigned first to come first serve. I was recovering from a broken foot and ankle and I had to climb up to the top bunk every time. The ladder rungs really hurt my feet, even wearing my street shoes. When I told the receptionist a top bed was going to be a problem, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nothing, we can do about it." My payment was nonrefundable.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful in the very short notice, check-in was easy and the room was perfectly fine for what I needed. Access to transport was easy (pretty much straight at the front door or not that far walk away) and food eateries are also close by.
