Almost Perfect

This hostel is so close to being beyond amazing. The location is great, with a short walk to subway access. There's also a decent variety of restaurants nearby. It was very clean, from the front entrance to the dorm rooms. I appreciated the cafe with reasonable prices (the food was almost all good, the eggs were a little rough as they're reheated but for the price and convenience it's nothing a little salt and pepper can't make manageable). Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only issues that I had were for one, the twice that I had to use the handicapped shower stall during my stay due to availability, the water didn't get any better than lukewarm. The other showers got very warm. I hate that the only shower option that someone may have isn't comfortable. Secondly, the beds were insanely hard. I woke up at 4:30 on my last day because my back was screaming in pain, and I don't have back issues. It's manageable with enough pillows and blankets to cushion, but it's really uncomfortable. I absolutely loved the value and the location. If I was working with a limited budget, I wouldn't be afraid to stay here again. However, if I have the budget for something else then I'm going to choose something else, just for the sleep quality. I really appreciate all of the extras offered, but at the end of the day I'm paying for a place to sleep.
