This is bare bones accommodations, but for the price, it is terrific. I needed a place to stay for one night (just 12 hours, to be exact), and this place was safe, secure, clean. I walked to some stores and restaurants. I got a hot shower and a good night's sleep.

I had such a great experience at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and well-kept, and the common area had a really chill vibe—perfect for meeting other travelers. The location was also ideal, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The atmosphere felt safe, social, and comfortable. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in town!

6/10 Good

Room #8 was okay. A bit small, but livable. Biggest issue was that the head of the bed is directly underneath a window that faces the freeway. Bring earplugs and you'll be fine. Also, water pressure in the shower left a lot to be desired. But it was clean, private, and provided all the amenities I could need.

I was greeted upon arrival and this place has been the best stop on my trip. It's beautiful here. The manager has so many plants that are well taken care of and I really enjoyed the staff and other guests. It's been pleasant and I am definitely coming back again. Do yourself a favor and stay here.

nice interior, and big veranda. Cooking space and bathroom, you can chat with other travelers in the kitchen. Host is very friendly and helpful. I like the palm trees and all the plants around the house. You can hear the motorway but not too loud. Bus stop is opposite the house. You can also walk to the city.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed in a private room and it fit my needs for the length of my stay. I didn’t love that there were no windows in the room I was in and no outlets that I could see in the room. Also, there was a very thin, unlockable sliding door between the room I was in and another room. The noise from that persons device, or maybe tv, whatever it was, it carried so well to the point that we may as well have been in the same room. That wasn’t enjoyable. I appreciated the expansive porch and the various plants. I’d stay again if I were in the area but would request a different private room.

4/10 Fair

The place did its job. But I was negatively surprised with the room. It was super small and had 2 bunker beds only. It was so small that it barely fits two people standing. Whatever I had to do, I needed to go to out to the bathroom which was very inconvenient. But the worst part was that I was assigned the upper bed and there was no power outlets anywhere. The only few power outlets available were on the lower bed and they were being used already and based on what I heard from other people staying in other rooms, this wasn't a problem only in my room. I got there at 9pm the first after a long day. All my devices were almost dead and I couldn't charge them in the room. I had to go out of the room to the common area and be there for more than 1 hour while my devices were charging. I was almost falling asleep. This was really inconvenient and I think it could be fixed. I dont think I'd stay there again.

If you like 1940's era houses with a ton of charm and an artsy vibe, which I do, you'll love this place. Kind of "shabby chic". Surrounded by similar period houses and brick-paved streets, there's a bus stop just outside the gate that takes you to Historic Ybor City neighborhood and within a couple blocks of the Tampa streetcar that goes downtown. Rooms are a bit odd, but in a way that adds to the charm of the place. Kitchen has everything you need, with bottled water dispenser and complimentary Keurig coffee. Everything is very clean. Security is good, with coded locks on the gate, entry door, as well as the bedrooms, but it felt very safe anyway. No vagrants in the area. There is no front desk, but someone will come help you if you require it. Did I mention there's bougainvillea growing beside the rattan rocker on the wraparound porch?
