"Very nice staff and a great location. Rooms are small but adequate. Beds are nice. As some other reviewers have stated, you can hear hallway noise a bit more than expected, but this wasn't a problem on my visit. Loved the convenience to the subway, and it's only a 20 minute walk to the main station (if you want to get those steps in). 20 minutes in the other direction takes you to an amazing shopping street and market. The breakfast was nice, and they served until 10:30, which was a nice change....

"Unacceptable. We were supposed to be met by someone to explain how things worked. Instead we were given an access code to let ourselves in. We tried for three days to get talk to someone. It was too hot to sleep and the air conditioner would only stay on 30 minutes. Then we got an email demanding $1000 instructing us to pay it directly and not through Hotelscom. Our stay was fully prepaid through hotels.com. So I called Hotelscom to assist us. They assured me a rep would be right out to...

"It's a hostel! Don't expect room service. But it was exactly what we were looking for (cheap room). The added attraction for us was the fact that it is a 125-year-old house. It was great getting to experience sleeping on the floor on futons. As with most hostels, the toilet and bathroom are "down the hall." However, our room had its own private toilet, which was convenient. Check-in was "interesting." There's a box at the front door that has "check-in" instructions for incoming guests. You find...
