I booked this hostel for a short trip to Canada on a roundtrip through the US. While it was a good choice for an inexpensive stay in a good location (Pubs/restaurants around, walking distance to downtown, public transport nearby; but somewhat dirty neighborhood), it was overall somewhat messy and the rooms were untidy. As there is only one shower room and one bathroom on each floor, it seems inevitable that they are not as clean as one would hope for. During my stay, unfortunately, there were roadworks going on, so there was no water for half a day, and I had a foodbourne infection. Both not at the hostel's fault, it might compromise my overall impression. Breakfast is basic (bagels, toast, 4 kinds of spread including butter, eggs, milk, juice and cereals); due to the water failure, coffee was missing one day. They did not have lockers in the shared rooms.
