I had to cancel the booking. I couldn't sleep there
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The place was stinking like someone just smoked. It was dark and scary. But I guess it was okay for the price, but it seemed like a brothel

Excellent value
Pros:

Great value - a double bed room and private bathroom with amenities and furniture for the price of a dorm bed. Also check-in anytime and free laundry and a breakfast (self cook) includes eggs. Bed was comfortable, window to outside, walkable to subway. Did not detect smoking smell. Clean and quiet.

Cons:

Reception is impersonal (only sign that it’s a love hotel).
