The hostel was very close to the beach and park, but, very awkward for getting out of and into due to medians that made it impossible to cross roads.

Great location near the city park and lakefront. Easy to use without having a car. Good access to downtown, and public transportation routes. The AC worked well. I was glad to have a single room and bathroom. It’s a hostel- Nice big kitchen and nice back patio.

Close to the park and beach. Room completely different from the pictures in teb website for 1 queen bed. Expect for a very basic room with just bed, small washroom and shower. Walls has lots of stains.

James

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very helpful, especially when I asked how I could retrieve my bicycle before the 7 am open time. And, extra kudos to the people who turned in my forgotten electronic equipment, and to the staff who will hold it for me until I can return to retrieve it! Negative: very close to main noisy highway coming in from the south/west.

I thought this hostel was a great option to stay in a pretty expensive city. I booked a private room with a washroom and it was a good price for what it was. Parking is an extra $10 a day which seemed very reasonable. Overall, perfect location and decent place!
