Liked: Well located!

Disliked: A large hostel with many guests. Not very personal vibe. Also, there is an alley next to the hostel where they pick up garbage every morning at 7:30ish that wakes you up.

Liked: The location was great. It was in the quieter part of downtown, yet still very close to everything. The staff was super friendly and very helpful in terms of where to go and what to do in the area.

Disliked: Wasn't super clean, but not bad considering how many people were staying there each night.

Liked: The free wifi was useful and the location was central and walkable.

Disliked: I feel the price was too expensive and I had an odd encounter with one of the guests. Also on them night of July 1st one of the visitors was screemig about being called a meth head. Those encounters left me feeling uncomfortable.

17 April 2010 David Andreas would recommend this property

Liked: It felt really clean and safe, and it's a big plus that it's close to the bus terminal, considering people who stay in hostels might have a lot of luggage but still travel on a tight budget and would prefer not to take a cab.

Disliked: David Andreas left no negative feedback.

Liked: Location is terrific: close to transport, venues and eateries. Staff were helpful and informative but the business of the hostel makes it somewhat automatic and organisation-centred. OK for passers-through.

Disliked: Graham left no negative feedback.
