I liked the cleaness but i didnt like a lot of slopes to get there, also towels are not provided, even homeless shelters provide free towels, why cant they do it? I dont like city taxes pay separately, should be included all, expédia, please do not separate city taxés, it just annoying to pay at premise.

Nice and clean however there was no shampoo provided as described and you had to pay to rent a towell and lock for the storage lockers. Food and drinks were average for the price.

Accès difficile
L'hôtel est propre et le service donné par le personnel est excellent. Seulement, l'emplacement ne m'a pas plus puisque j'ai trouvé l'accès à difficile en raison des pentes et escaliers très nombreux à monter. Je n'avais pas envie de payer pour un taxi ou Uber a chaque fois que sortais de l'hôstel alors j'ai tout fais à pied jusqu'au métro les bus n'étant pas assez nombreux a mon goût.

The room and bathroom were clean. Very quirky, would have been more comfortable with more storage, comfortable flooring and the very high ceiling was strange. Wouldn’t have liked to use the bunks.

We were surprised to find that our room had nothing more than beds in it! There were no places to sit, no desk, no table, no fridge, no closets, no space whatsoever. And there were a lot of stairs in our room which wasn’t indicated on the site. They were steep and slippery and dangerous for us and our kids. Also a shock was that the pictures on Expedia were of a different modern hotel.

New and very welcoming place! Walking distance to old city and other interesting places. Hotel has cafe on first floor, where they have a lot of different entertainments every evening. When we were there, it was a break dance competition night, was a lot of fun watching it! Also they have kitchen, where you can cook your own food, and you can relax in a room full of beanbag chairs. As for rooms, beds and pillows are very comfortable! Really nice and unique place to stay!
