Great Hostel, but poor staff and policies
The Hostel itself is very nice and has good potential. Clean, close to subway, nice rooms and common areas. I was however unfortunately met with very bad staff during check-in and check-out(Same woman). During check-in we were multiple people who waited in line, and the woman sat on her phone behind the check-in desk and did not want to help. When asking her to check in she seemed very bothered, and during the process gave no info about the hostel. Was just told to sign and handed the room key. Also worth noting that this property charges 5$ for luggage storage, even for guests. Was caught off guard with this as I have never experienced it at another property. Very bad policy for guests arriving early or leaving late that want to store their bags, so a big minus in my book.

If the folks at HI Hostels reads this, here are a few things, I noticed. Let me begin by saying, 90 percent of the staff I encountered ( and I am very low maintenance), were excellent. Okay...You need to change or upgrade all your bed outlets to heavy duty. Every plug I used, slipped out of the outlet. Even my extension cord. You have to realize, these outlets are perched above. If you have a fast charger, they are bulky...it's futile. Get an ICE machine...Are you kidding me? The cafe people need an attitude adjustment. One guy, wouldn't give me a fork and knife...really?
