It is your typical hostel. Just a bed and shared spaces. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and everything was clean. I would stay there again.

It's a good hostel. The bed was softer-cushiony than any stay I had at chain motels and hotels in the past 10 years. I will stay there again. I had a private room for my wife and me. My car was safe in their lot.

The Hotsel is absolutely amazing in term of location, cleanliness and staff helpfulness and accommodation! The only and also a major complaint is the locker provided along with the room. The provided number combination works sometimes and cause problem twice that needed assistance from staff, which is not available after hour.

Sort of hard to figure out where doors and building is. Going in back door is best.
Lots of things close by. Hippie feeling in a good way!

So warm and cozy! Very helpful and friendly staff. Never have stayed at hostel before and such a wonderful affordable option instead of staying at a hotel and paying for things I won't use.
