The owner was very helpful in helping navigate, from the train station. He emailed a few days before to ask what time we would likely check in. We texted him for public trans and popular spots to tour. He provided maps. Check in included a care package of all the essentials (and more) for grooming. Filtered water was available. We didn't try breakfast but ramen, coffee, tea and water were available. The stairs were very dusty but it didn't bother anyone's allergies, surprinsingly. The key for our room included a flashlight and panic button, in case of emergencies. There is no elevator, but the stairs were carpeted. There was a window in our room. No outisde noise was heard on the 4th floor. Very close to the subway and bus stops. I would definitely stay here again.
This hostel is owned, managed and staffed by a one-man show. He is always alert, eager to help, and kind. He is also the Tourist Information Centre. If you need any advise, he will be the man. This is what a great hostel should be. I booked a single room for 2 nights and I was very satisfied with it - flat TV, heater, fan, and toiletries. There was a kitchen that open 24 hours. They got ramen, egg, sausages, bread, orange juice , milk and etc - you just have to cook it yourself and wash it up. The location is about 15 minutes walk from the main bus terminal where you can get inter-city bus, and about 5 mins walk from the nearest subway. All in all, I highly recommend this place.

If you are following the walking video guide from the hostel's website, please do take note that some of the shops or buildings you seen in the video had 'changed'. I guess the video was made more than a year ago. All in all, I highly recommend this place.
