Structure appeared extremely old; super trippy decor; interesting and unique - very different from typical budget lodging such as a Motel 6. Almost a caricature of a hostel. Might not appeal to all. We stayed in the building next door (I think they called it the "balcony" room - no balcony. It was very small, quiet and we felt safe. Bus and trolley lines were very close. Overall vibe of the place was great.

I liked that they had coffee and a full kitchen we could make our own meals. Very clean and surprising very safe. Could use better pillows and could provide there guess with wash cloths not just a single towel.

Alena

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall facilities appeared extremely old; fun decor and probably historic - interesting and unique. We had a private room on the second floor which was quite large with two bunk beds on either side of the room. The floor at the center of the room was significantly bowed - it had separated from the wall by about 2 inches and light from the room below was visible and flickered from the first floor ceiling fan. We did not feel safe walking in the center of the room and kept to the edges. Everything else worked for us but if we were to go back, I would avoid the upper floors of the main hostel - they have another house next door, and maybe cabins in the back (might be for staff thought...)

It would’ve been a nice and interesting place to stay if there was more upkeep. I also found a syringe and needle in one of the toilet stalls, also the showers were behind a screen door which exposes them to the outside which is not a pleasant experience for winter temperatures.
