The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the hostel itself was very worn down and in need of serious maintenance. The facilities felt outdated, and some areas seemed a bit neglected. While the hospitality was great, the overall condition of the hostel could definitely use some improvements.

The hostel was wonderful. Clean, friendly, and the beds were super comfortable. There is considerable construction happening in the neighborhood so drove around for almost an hour to find parking and an entrance, used an affordable parking garage just behind.

Reasonable
Room and bed comfortable but small with nowhere to put your things. Shower curtain was not wide or deep enough so water went all over the floor. Shower nice and hot. Kitchen a little chaotic in the evening with other guests not clearing up after them.

Had a private room and it felt like a basic hotel, clean and comfortable. A good deal when split with another person. Nice and quiet. Be aware that this is a dry hostel even in private rooms. The quiet hours are generally well-observed.
