“This hostel presents an interesting contrast: the well-maintained physical space and common areas hold much promise. The rooms are clean, and proximity to the subway adds real convenience. However, reports of inconsistent service, particularly during check-in, and unexpected fees for luggage storage leave me questioning the overall value.”
