We were worried about the crime when we arrived but in the end absolutely nothing happened. It was a fantastic trip and this hostel finally turned my friends on to the idea of hostels.

Nobody cleaned my room during my 4 days of stay. The place looks abandoned. You can't compare with the HI from Vancouver, and that was the reason for me to choose an individual room at HI instead of going to a Hotel, I loved the HI Vancouver Downtown. Terrible place with scary people.

the hostel looked like it could do with a bit of tlc - paint peeling on the outside, one of the rooms I stayed in previously the shower was more of a dribble than a shower and one of the window blinds was broken. the blankets looked a bit worn. whole hostel too hot.

In November this was a good place to stay since the "traffic" was low. In the dorm room, for my 2nd stay of 3 nights, I was the sole occupant.

The Wi-fi does not work properly in the kitchen. There should be more sings informating guests that they need to clean up after themselves in the kitchen, I believe that it could help to reduce the number dirt dishes .

The toilet leaked and the courtyard needed a paint job. There was central air, apparently, but the control in the room had broken. The cardboard room keys often failed to work right. No screens on the windows either. The person at the desk upon arrival was super friendly and helpful. Other staff were decent.

Francois at the front desk should actually get an outstanding! He checked us in, answered our 8 million questions, made some wonderful recommendations on places to eat and things to do. We loved him. Thor, who was on the next 2 days, took awhile to warm up to us but we refused to give up and kept talking to him til he broke! LOL. It was very hot when we were there like 100 F / 33C and Francois was kind enough to put us in a room that had AC. The location was fabulous and we really enjoyed our stay.

I think that it will be better to be serviced in the restaurant not in pub after 2100 o'clock.
