10/10 Exceptional

Good value for unbeatable price. I stayed an additional night because the place was satisfactory. Bathrooms were spotless and cleaned daily, though girls' shower and sink area can start accumulating hair left behind and becoming increasingly dirty as the night goes on. The bed was firm, you could feel the springs, but the sheets were hotel-level clean.
Peggy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was simple and nearby enough to wherever I wanted to go.
Dasimah, 4-night trip

I like there was a restaurant in the building, staffs spoke English, double deckers were spacious. Overall good hostel.
Noel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is good. But needs just a little bit of dusting but overall i will still recommend. Easy check in and out.

Poor quality bathroom, no soap, bunkmates are loud. Solid location, affordable.

Showers were a little dirty and there were some strange people but other than that not bad I heard you can get better hostels for the same value but still cheap

A budget friendly hostel

If you are looking for a budget friendly accommodation, this is a good option for you to put into your consideration. Yet, it is important to keep in mind that: 1) This is not a 5 star hotel, but a hostel. 2) You can have a bunkbed space for yourself as a private space, and other areas are shared. 3) Don't expect to have everything set up for you. (You are responsible for your own bed making) 4) Shampoo and body soap in the bathroom are free of charge to use, but others amenities need to pay for either purchase or rental. Some pros are: a) Amazing water pressure for shower. b) Pretty Quiet c) Couple blocks away from the nearest subway station d) Bed is comfortable e) A restaurant at the reception f) Close to convenience stores g) A budget friendly

2/10 Poor

Dirtiest and smelliest hostel I've ever seen

This is one of the most disgusting hostels I've ever seen. Everything smells horrible and there's dust and dirty everywhere you look. I read some bad reviews and thought "how bad can it really be?". It turns out it's really that bad. I tried to talk to the staff about leaving earlier because I really didn't feel comfortable there but I would have gotten no refund so I endured it and stayed for 5 nights. I've been traveling full-time for 5 months and this was by far the worst hostel I've seen.
Andreia, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Like: Clean, friendly staff, easy check-in/out, very comfy bed, some space for putting luggage (not much but still better than some other hostels). Washing machine for free with free detergent coin operated dryer. Can also borrow the umbrella from the hostel if needed. Dislike: the room door was screeching continuously, making me very uncomfortable whenever going in/out since I would disturb others. Hope the hotel fix it soon. Hot water can be on and off in the middle of your shower due to other users. If it happens to be suddenly cold, just let it run for a few more minutes to be hot again. Also, Expedia website says towel will be provided but it wasn't (you have to book the room "amenities included or rent it for 200Y). Should edit this info. Overall enjoyable stay, thank you!

家族旅行４人でプライベートルーム利用。素泊まりではコストパフォーマンスはかなり良い。リネンなども清潔に保たれており、シャワーのお湯の出も最高に良かった。細かいけど天井の通気口に埃がたまっていたのが目に留まったくらいで1階のサカバも美味しかった。中、高の子供達もまた来たいと高評価。

安さが魅力です。共同ドーミトリーはとても狭く、荷物や（雨の日は折り畳み傘などを乾かしている人がいて）歩くスペースもほとんどありません。寝具は清潔で快適でしたが、トイレは階段途中にあって不便でした。
