I had an incredible stay at this hostel! The place was exceptionally clean, and I felt safe throughout my visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with recommendations or any questions I had. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to meet other travelers. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and offered great value for the price. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and friendly place to stay, this hostel is a perfect choice. I will definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area!

This was a great hostel! Super conveniently located with 100s of restaurants all around, and easy access to mass transit. I'm still trying to figure out how to get one of their eco-friendly water saving shower heads in my home!!

Welp after speaking to GM today and voicing my frustrations after maybe letting my emotions get the best of me, I was gladly welcomed back and charged 20 bucks over the going rate for the same room I had to change my own sheets on. I should have literally stayed for free. Can you imagine if you will, making a guest from Iceland or Asia changing their own sheets? Then? Over charging them 20 bucks to make em feel right? Ya know. I've changed my mind.garbage place. Had 2 days to make it right and they continue to crap on me. It's all good.

My room had no heat. I brought it to the attention of the attendant at the desk and they basically told me too bad. I never comment or leave poor reviews, but my overall experience from the facility, my room and the staff was that bad.
