The hostel was comfortable. The building is old but overall kept fine and has its charm. I didn't need to use the TV I didn't see the remote but I didn't ask. --The temperature was comfortable, there was A/C, not sure how would be heated in case of cold weather (heater?), or it may have been centralized. The kitchen, wi-fi, and laundry room were available. Coffee for 3$ at the reception was good and some pastries were available. The staff was attentive and provided me with a lamp. In the queen single room a folding table and a stool may help as well as a support for the luggage. It probably was the most comfortable bed, pillow and linens I have ever used. Parking was available through the hostel, so inquire with the staff. Restroom and showers were kept clean.
