AI Summary
Conveniently located near attractions and dining options, with friendly staff and complimentary meals. However, some guests experienced discomfort from narrow rooms, poor soundproofing, and old amenities affecting sleep quality.

The service staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. But there are a lot of homeless people nearby, which is disturbing. The room has no ventilation, seems to have not been cleaned, and the facilities are also very poor. Since I booked the hotel at the last minute and the price was not high, I accepted it. The hotel has two locks, but the odd tenant is a little unsettling. Thank you very much to the receptionist for changing me to a more suitable room! If I were given a choice again, I would not choose this hotel. I still appreciate every service member's help. Breakfast is a simple buffet with hard-boiled eggs, toast and juice. Dinner was simple rice with sauce on top. There are many supermarkets nearby. You can choose to go shopping on your own, but be sure to avoid the hordes of homeless people.

Excellent hostel right in the midst of Victoria. A short walk to the harbor and Chinatown. Super duper value. Free sumptuous breakfast (cheese, olives, tuna, hard boiled eggs, jam, butter, bread, waffles and blue berries) and free dinner!

The service was great, with free breakfast, dinner, drinks, etc. The only problem was that the shower water was lukewarm no matter how much I adjusted it.
