The room and bunk smelled of sweat, and the wife's signal was very weak, so she had to leave the room.

It's a quite clean, good location. Very helpful staff. But the dorm rooms are too tiny, and unequal distribution of space. No space to open bags

I stayed one night and it was enough to go to another hostel.I booked a single room, as soon as I opened the door the musty smell was too strong. It had an exhaust fan that was super loud (couldn't be turned off) making it difficult to sleep all night.The common areas are good, but the rooms are not worth it.

Room with a lot of unpleasant noise due to the ventilation and air conditioning system. I had to leave without reimbursement because it was so unbearable.

Amenity area is spacious and nice but the downstairs cafe closes early at 5pm. The stairs to get up to my top bunk are cramped and a challenge to navigate unless you are tall & narrow.Also, airflow at top bunk is not good with curtains closed (even with A/C on) which definitely let you smell the damp rankness of the room which overall puts my rating at 2.8. The areas which you would think would smell (the bathrooms) did not.However, the instant hot water heater was difficult to adjust the temperature—it went from hot to cold in the shower I used, with no middle ground. Plenty of toilets and showers for many people to be using the washrooms simultaneously.Regarding the area, it can be difficult to get in and out of Chinatown because of one way and narrow streets made impassable in cars due to street vendors and heavy crowds. It is a walkable area and a good location if you intend on spending most of your time in Chinatown. I suggest a visit to nearby upstairs Opium bar if you like to try various and different sorts of [even savory] cocktails. However, I do not recommend the duck skewers (too chewy).
