The gym was definetely a big reason why I chose to stay at the Obi Hostel. I really appreciated being able to have some way to do some strength training whilst on Holidays.
It was a decent Hostel. Only real problem was the air conditioning. The bunk beds are made out of wood so it’s like a sauna in your cubby especially if you’re right under the heater.
Small property. Hallways were filled with luggages. There were no places to safely store your travel luggage as only a medium size locker was provided. Curtain to cover your space was not secure and it didn’t provide a complete visual privacy. Very convenient location to access different subway lines. Great price if purpose of staying is solely for sleeping overnight.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
It was close to the train and lots of food. The gym had a good amount of equipment but wa la too small, would be stumbling through a crowd in a hallway during busy hours.
Massive bedbug infestation. Never been bitten so many times by any bug, I hoped that fresh sheets would help but it did not. 30 bites, would not recommend
Good location next to multiple metro lines.
I’ve been in dozens hostels, so have seen my fair share of what works and what doesn’t. Obi does most things correct. The one downside is that they do not have a kitchen / place to bring your own food to eat since they are also a cafe. So if you are the type to cook and eat at a hostel this is probably not for you. But they are across the street from a grocery store.
-provides free towels, lockers include lock.
-bathrooms not ensuite so prevents the stuffiness prevalent in a lot of other hostels.
-showers and toilets are separate and individual.
-showers include changing area.
-beds offer great privacy with curtains and have a good amount of space relative to the number of guests per room.
-washer/dryer on premise.
-front desk is not 24/7, but are there for most of time. Staff are helpful.
