So far so good
Two things I didn't like the hostel. 1. It was located at a back street full of eateries. It was very loud at night when we opened the window. If you close the window and have the ac on, it would be fine. However, we went in May, it's too cold to use AC but too stuffy with the window closed. 2. The bathroom was very moldy and stinked really bad. There was no fan, no window in the bathroom. I asked the owner for an air refresher. He was nice enough to provide one. Other than that, the hostel was located very conveniently​ for travelers. It's just a couple minutes walk from the subway. It was close to a few attractions and there were many good restaurants to choose from. I won't go back though because of the bathroom condition. If you are not sensitive to smell, it is a good place overall.
