Unfortunately, it was advertised on Expedia as more of a hotel and not a hostel, for the particular room we reserved. There was no phone or no refrigerator. The pictures on Expedia showed a large window overlooking the area. When in fact it was a large circular "porthole" almost 2 meters off the floor. It was nothing like what we expected for the mount paid per night. I had prescription medication that required refrigeration. I was told "Not to worry", we can put them in the common use refrigerator, which all backpackers have access to. They were finally able to come up with a few frozen ice bags. They were kind enough to take my ice bags and put them in the employee refrigerator. ***Be aware that all forms of transportation, with the exception of the light rail, cannot pick-up or drop off at the front entrance. Uber & taxis have to stop a1/2 block away in an alley or across the street at the bus stop. Not particularly bad if all you have is a backpack. But, when you have several suitcases and hand carried it is very inconvenient. It was not mentioned when booking. I will compliment the staff for doing all they could do to assist us with the issues and helping on checkout with our luggage. I would highly recommend for backpackers, but for the same cost per night those looking for hotel type amenities, hotels are available in the area.
