The location is amazing; the hostel is safe for solo travelers; the staff is helpful and friendly; there is complementary tea&coffee at all times at the reception; the wi-fi was excellent and there is an elevator so you do not have to carry your suitcases up the stairs. Breakfast is fairly basic - bread, bagel, cream cheese, jam, peanut butter, banana, apple, quick porridge. But it is good enough to get you going.
On the downside: The hostel has carpet flooring everywhere and I think this makes the general smell in the corridors and the rooms heavy and quite bad at times; hence I left the windows open all through the day. The windows are not double glazed so you can hear all the noise from outside and since you are downtown prepare for some noise.
