A highly recommended place!

The hostel is very nice. Spacious rooms with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. They serve breakfast and offer various activities. The only downside is that you need your own transportation because it's a bit far from everything.

Nice set up from check in to check out. There’s definitely a respectful feel to the hostile. Fun to have pancakes on the weekend and a good basic breakfast all week long. I wasn’t able to score RAD a five because the introduction was really fast and I couldn’t retain all the info. Also, there’s a few idiosyncrasies that to me, are worth an explanation. They are: what to do if you return to the hostel and there’s no parking spots left. A little sign over the ice and water in the kitchen, explaining the start and stop button,would alleviate a lot of ice and water on the floor. Knowing ahead of time the washer and dryer costs. Letting newcomers to hostel life know that if there are two doors into the bathroom, they should lock both and then unlock both. Also that you would be best not to wake your bunk mates up for non-essentials. Receiving the reminder text about activities was helpful, having a variety of dairy and plant-based milks was a plus. The beds weren’t overly comfortable, but the comforter, duvet and pillow were lovely as were the pots of flowers. I would definitely stay here again and I wish the absolute best to the whole hard-working team. Thank you for providing a safe and clean home away from home.

One of the nicest hostels ive stayed in. The vibes are immaculate. Quiet clean rooms, the remote check in was perfect for us needing to roll in at 1am, my only complaint is that its a little dusty and tough on any allergies, but otherwise our night was awesome.

Excellent hostel experience

This is a wonderful hostel , but can Be utilized as a hotel. You can have a shared room, which is the hostel experience, or you can rent your own room with your own private bathroom. I really was surprised, but happy with the nightly festivities that were offered. They have a very nice backyard where they do gatherings with s’mores, as well as jaunts Into the city. I needed a base for my daily explorations so this was perfect.
