| Well, HI hostels done it again with another great hostel! Great location, great setup, everything is nearly perfect as far as hostels go. The only thing I would like is if breakfast had some more options, like fresh fruits, and cheeses. Hostel response: | ||

| Great hostel. The downside; The plastic matress cover is noisy as people turn in their sleep. The women's bathroom on 3rd floor needs attention, toilets often blocked,disabled shower not working, shower next to it runs too hot to use and another was out of bodywash the whole time I was there. The door closer doesn't work so door slams all the time. The quality of breakfast food very poor, Should offer an oat based cereal, better quality bread (like the bagels in SFO centralfor instance)and live yoghurt. Small changes, big improvement Hostel response: | ||

| I stayed on the forth floor. Everything was pretty good except the bathroom. The shower is not hot enough. I guess it is hotter if i am the only one using the shower. But the shower could be definitely improved.
Also, staff are friendly but not necessarily helpful. They gave me a feeling like that's not part of the knowledge i needed to know but I would point you to the right person.
There's nothing wrong with this style of customer service. But at the same time, I were not asking a tricky or hard question.
Also, the breakfast could have a bit more variety other than the same kind of bread everyday. Hostel response: | ||

| Overall, very good value. Bed wasn't made everyday like others' were and breakfast was exceptionally plain, but Shouldn't complain for the price. Hostel response: | ||
