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.
