The staff kept this place very clean. Id say the downfall here is the size of the kitchen. It's super small and challenging to prep or even use the kettle.

Still new to staying at Hostels but places like these definitely make me feel it's not so bad to share a room with strangers. Every thing was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The area is right around the corner to a main busy street but somehow it was tucked away and quiet. Easy to walk to public transportation. Would definitely not mind staying here again.

I loved my stay here. I wish my window opened as it got pretty hot on the 3rd floor but other than that it was clean and in a great area.

Beautiful building on the exterior. It was nice to have somewhere to park. The staff was all good. Bathrooms were pretty clean. The room we stayed in reeked of ammonia/ cat pee. I don't know what the deal is with that but had we arrived earlier we would have found other accommodations based on the smell.
