This is a lovely hostel....

Liked: The location was great and lots of great food nearby. The fun events the hostel were hosting each day. I like the PIN code method instead of key cards.
Disliked: Towels were not complimentary. The front door locks later in the night so when I arrived at night, it was hard to get a hold of staff to open it. The door bell was rung 2x but got no answer. A visitor who was leaving the building helped me to get inside.

Overall, a solid and comfortable...

Liked: The location was perfect, right in the middle of tons of attractions and great restaurants, and super close to the subway. The hostel was clean (especially for a hostel!), and the lobby had a really beautiful vibe. Breakfast was okay, nothing fancy but it did the job. Overall, a solid and comfortable stay.
Disliked: However, there were a few downsides. On Friday and Saturday nights, the music from the clubs across the street is really loud, you can feel the bass in the room, so it’s tough to get good sleep. The hostel was also quite cold, including the rooms, lobby, and bathrooms. I actually got sick on my second day.
