    The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for local attractions. However, the noise levels at night could be disruptive, impacting sleep quality. Additionally, the kitchen facilities were a bit underwhelming, limiting cooking options.

    fantastic location
    spacious common areas
    excellent safety measures
    out of order toilets
    limited breakfast options

    The location is fantastic, very close to downtown and easily accessible via public transport. The spacious common areas are beautifully designed, with comfortable spots for working and socializing. Free breakfast, well-equipped kitchens, and free guided activities foster a welcoming community atmosphere. I especially appreciated the safety measures in place, as access requires a key card for entry to different areas, enhancing peace of mind during my stay.

    Some toilets were out of order, and the breakfast options were limited to bagels and hard-boiled eggs.

    I had a nice stay with comfy beds and a great atmosphere among fellow guests. The location was excellent, with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. noise from the hall and trains was noticeable, and the shared bathrooms could be cleaner. it’s a good option for budget travelers looking for community and convenience.

    spacious room
    noisy bathroom
    overcrowded facilities

    The breakfast was a delightful spread—fresh fruit, muffins, and croissants that felt like a hug from a bakery. The staff was as helpful as a GPS with a sense of humor, making sure I found my way around the city. My room was spacious, with a nice mix of tranquility and an adventure vibe, offering privacy curtains to block out late-night mischievous laughter from others.
