The staff were friendly and accommodating. Waffles on the weekend were awesome and the Thanksgiving dinner was huge. At the celebration I met a staff member who was a writer and a gentleman from Italy who was headed home - and I will not soon forget the friendliness that I feel is a standard there.

Everything about this hostel was amazing. Reuben, the manager, went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable, such a great vibe!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
