Very good location just off of the highway. We were taken aback a bit by the outside appearance but once inside, found it to be inviting and our room with a private bath was great. We enjoyed the artwork on our wall and found the gentleman checking us in to be very helpful and friendly. While this property was outside of the type of properties we stay at, we enjoyed out stay and would definitely stay again.

This hostel definitely has a fun vibe and a good atmosphere. My husband and I stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and thought it was a decent night's sleep. The kitchen area isn't the best because there is only one stove, so only one group can be cooking at a time, which makes it difficult to guarantee that you will be eating when you want and means you either have to start early before the dinner rush or wait until the previous group is done.

Tidy and comfortable

Self service check it. The theme of Aurora rooms a a bit scary But I booked family room and it looks like a recently renovated place and it is okay. Clean and tidy, the shared kitchen is lacking lights and a bit dark, the common area is really a gem of this guest house, has the mojo of youth hostel.

this place is pretty far from restaurants but our main priority was to have a safe place to sleep for 1 night before we continued on our journey and it was perfect for that. they have a great common lounge that looked stocked with games, but we were so tired from hiking and driving all day that we didnt get to use this. there are lots of great and funky art pieces on the property and paints on the walls. thank you for a great stay!

We had the family room with a private bathroom. It was very new and clean. The shower was a little tricky though as the curtain did not go all the way down to the floor so water can easily get out. Also, it would be even better if there's a desk in the room. The two small stools were not enough for the 4 of us to put our stuff. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very unique. We stayed in one of the new rooms which was nice except the shower was very tiny. They should have just left the curtain off and it would seem like more space. Also no place to put shampoo etc in the shower. Lots of outlets in the room which was great

Staying at the Freezer Hostel was unique. It had delightful art and provided an opportunity to meet people. We reserved a family room for 4 people and the double bed was really small for two adults. It was a great location to check out some if the sights in the National park.
