Liked: The people, the owner, Bruce and Elizabeth treated not only me but everyone with real hospitality. Great people along with Louis who looks after everyones needs. Trying hard to find a complaint- I can only manufacture one.

Disliked: could have been less friendlier so it would be easier to leave.

Liked: The roof top deck and walkways were awesome. The host gave me a free ride to the airport upon my departure. This is a unique hostel and well worth a visit if you are an open minded traveller who is not afraid of staying somewhere different to the well travelled hostels.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Customer review

08 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The owner was fantastic. He upgraded my room for no reason, I booked a dorm but he gave me a private room with a TV. He drove me into town and to Clearwater beach (which was going to be a mission on the bus) He went well out of his way to find things out for us and even offered to put in $20 for three of us when we were going out to dinner. If we had accepted, it would have almost covered the entire meal! The hostel is easy to get to from downtown and the area is safe and residential. Internet is free and there is plenty of common space inside and out to meet people.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
