Liked: Overall a good place to stay. Expect a tax on top of the shown price, as is always the case in Canada. I would recommend this hostel to others.
Disliked: Have the booking page printed - saved me having to pay the deposit again.

Liked: It was clean. The location was perfect. Quiet street in the center of downtown St. John's. I felt safe. I felt comfortable. The owner and his staff are simply excellent. At the rate I paid I was expecting a conventional dump like I have stayed in in Toronto and Hawaii. It was more like a 4 Star Bed and Breakfast with more beds.
Disliked: Not having booked an extra few days

Liked: location is good - everything in St John's is walkable. I appreciated the ease of late-night check-in, they gave me a private room so I wouldn't disturb the others sleeping - very considerate of them.
Disliked: I ran into a bunch of people who were not travellers and were using the hostel as temporary accommodation. They were older, jaded and talked your ear off...

Liked: City Hostel was perfect! It's in a very central location in St. John's (walking distance to all of the in-city attractions), was super clean, very secure and had good amenities. The staff was genuinely friendly and very accommodating. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends and colleagues.
