Please be aware, the place has homeless people coming there in the evening. The shared bathrooms are dirty, had shavings all over. I was afraid for my mom with what looked like addicts/homeless people all around the area and at the place. After paying for the room and paying for parking and going out till the evening before bringing my stuff in, I felt uncomfortable/unsafe there. I dropped the keys off and checked out, booking a better place the night of...

Staff were lovely, parking was a pain until I knew of paid secure parking. Only problems there isn't much for children to do there and no nearby parks. Also there was a permanent smell in the woman's toilets on G level. Overall though great for a tempory stay. Don't forget to label your food 😉

The common kitchen was terrific. But the only problem was the room which dodnt have a toilet and the size was too small for the price .

Handy location. Walking distance to Central Market, library, museum and many coffee shops. Recommend Elementary Coffee which is a couple streets down. We stayed in a private with ensuite and it was everything we needed. Had never stayed in a hostel before and as the mom of 20 somethings thought it was all dorms. It’s not and there were others my age or older.

2/10 Poor

it was the worst dormitory hostel experience I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, everything was wrong. The check-in process was slow and inefficient. The hostel staff was rude and unhelpful. When I finally got to my dorm room, I was horrified. It was filthy. The beds were unmade, the sheets were dirty, and the floor was covered in crumbs. There was even a cockroach crawling on the wall. I asked about lockers, and they told me that there were lockers in the dorm room, but they didn't have locks. I was shocked. How could they expect guests to keep their belongings safe if the lockers didn't have locks? I was so exhausted that I decided to just try to sleep. But it was impossible. The bed was uncomfortable, the room was noisy, and I couldn't stop thinking about the cockroach. I checked out first thing in the morning and went to a different hostel. I would never recommend this hostel to anyone. It is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in.
