It was pretty cold and there were no hand towels to dry hands in the bathroom, but I paid for a 2 bed dorm and didn't have a roommate! Additionally, the location is awesome...really close to a bunch of vegetarian restaurants. :)

I really enjoyed staying here. Perry and staff were really friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were a little cold, but the water was certainly hot. We liked it so much the first time we came back again

If you want a nice clean and quiet hostel then this hostel is for you. The people were super friendly as were the staff but it was not busy therefore making it difficult to make friends and socialize.

I was only at this hostel for an afternoon and night but it seemed like a nice place, it had great facilities and some friendly people. It was big and there were bigger groups so it did not have that small cozy feel but it was still a nice place to stay
