If your expectations are hotel styled probably not formyou! Laid back hippy style comfort of home style of stay, do your own cooki g different dorms available as well as private, friendly staff, and when the subway works it just minutes away from the VIA rail train station! And the flixbus stops close by as well! And the Byward market is awesome if you love cheese fresh breads and other delightful baked goods, and well lots of pubs and bars weed places all close by! Sit back relax like at home, then go tour around mostvofnit can be walked to!

Good value location
Good value for an excellent location. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to sleep, with a fully equipped kitchen and a great communal space. As long as you don't mind sharing a room, bathroom, etc. Helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Good location, good vibes and good other guests. However, two asian staff were not nice. They were not like rude, but never friendly and always talking each other in their language. They also stayed in the same room as guests, and two bottom bunks were already taken by them. Bottom bunks are more comfortable than top one, so at least there should be staff’s room aside from guests’ one.
