This is a decent hostel, conveniently located close to Metro Line 1, which provides easy access to both midtown and downtown. The rooms vary in quality—some are more recently renovated, while others lack curtains. Each room has an air filter, but it’s quite loud. Additionally, the heating system is underwhelming, often blowing cold air instead of warm, so it’s best to pack extra layers.The hostel features a kitchen and a theater room in the basement, as well as a workspace on the ground floor. Near the reception, there’s a small shop offering coffee and sandwiches. A laundry room is available on the second floor.While the bathrooms are consistently clean, the elevator is old and slow, so be prepared for a wait or to use the stairs. Overall, it’s a good option with some minor inconveniences.
