Still new to staying at Hostels but places like these definitely make me feel it's not so bad to share a room with strangers. Every thing was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The area is right around the corner to a main busy street but somehow it was tucked away and quiet. Easy to walk to public transportation. Would definitely not mind staying here again.

Beautiful building on the exterior. It was nice to have somewhere to park. The staff was all good. Bathrooms were pretty clean. The room we stayed in reeked of ammonia/ cat pee. I don't know what the deal is with that but had we arrived earlier we would have found other accommodations based on the smell.
