This was a gem for one night before we flew home. Quiet, very clean and comfortable for our family. Very kind staff. Location was convenient to get to the airport and a short walk to the subway. Took about an hour on the train to get downtown for the day which was easy. Would definitely stay again.

This property isn’t less expensive for a taxi to the airport than those hotels near the Old Town. There was nothing to do at or around the hotel. It was just as expensive as hotels near the city center.

Nice but ...

It is a different type of hotel. It's clean but the eco friendly theme is a bit too much. No A/C so, you have to open the door and then... mosquitoes.

Busy and large hostel. They have people coming and going for community events all the time. Its a large concrete building and the heat wasn't adjustable by room it was just set for the building overall and set too cold for january. Breakfast was top notch though and if you are in a large group of traveller's this place would be easy. Quite a walk to the train station but worth it to save a buck.

Finding the front door was a bit of a challenge. Check in was good(don't forget your passports). Parking was around the back (unpaved). Rooms were exactly like the photo's. Patio door on room didn't appear to lock. Loved getting our picnic bags at 3:30am for breakfast on check out. There was a group of young kids in the hostel on the same floor as us when we checked it, they were quite loud. Ear plugs helped allow us to get to sleep. Although they did settle around 9pm. The shower could be a little cleaner, all the floors are tile so walking around in bare feet wasn't comfortable. Loved the focus on the UN sustainable goals and it was super convenient for a quick arrival for early morning flight. Overall I would go back. One broken tile on the 1st floor was loud when people walked over it.

This is more a community center than a youth hostel. If you are looking for a very cheap place near the airport : go but don't go if you are looking for cleanliness or comfort. This is a place to crash for a night on a low budget.
