This hostel is a very affordable option and in a great location-- only about 1/2 mile from Union Station, and near a lot of bus stops. I appreciated all the work folks do to keep up with all the guests and-- I'm sure-- the mess we make. If you're looking for a pristine room and kitchen, you might not enjoy the stay, but it was great for what I expected: rooms have thick enough walls that I didn't hear a lot of noise from other people staying there (I do sleep with ear plugs, and during the day construction noise could be loud); the kitchen has a wide array of utensils and cookware; internet was reliable and fast enough for my needs. Check-in and check-out were also easy and straightforward. I'd definitely stay here again if the need arose.
