Walkable location to some good food options. The kitchen has everything you might need and they have towels/extra linens available. Bring your own shampoo/soap since they don't have any in the bathrooms.

Free parking in the back was a pleasant surprise! I was only here for a quick place to sleep before continuing on my journey but it was everything I needed. Clean showers and easily accessible bunks. Its an easy walk to the Canal from the Hostel as well. There is a large bunk capacity at this location, two level bunkbeds both upstairs and downstairs, and they both seemed to be Co-Ed at the time of my visit. Fresh sheets, a pillow and a towel were provided with the bunk. Blackout curtains, a lamp and a fan that are provided with your bunk. The owner was very friendly and helpful with recommendations in the area.

First timer staying at a Hostel. Didn’t know what to expect. Easy parking and friendly staff made it pleasurable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great experience. If you have an understanding of what a hostel is (it’s not an actual hotel), you won’t be disappointed in the accommodations. You’re paying for the bed; all the rest is communal spaces. You can interact with others as much as you want, but if you want to just be alone it’s in your sleeping pod with the curtain closed. Areas were clean. Linens were clean. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were too flat for my personal preferences, but I used my towel for a little lift. Stairs to sleeping spaces, so be aware if that’s an issue for you. It was hard to locate from the front - the door is small and unobtrusive. Took me a few passes in my car, until I finally looked at the street number and counted my way down. The whole space isn’t labeled with a big sign, just the name above the door. And if you go in from the front, there are a bunch of stairs to climb. Overall, I would stay here again

Booked a last-minute one-night stay. The staff was welcoming and gave me a tour of the place. Great amenities, wish I had had more time to spend there!

6/10 Good

Staff were very nice and welcoming, gave great recommendations for the area. Facility was clean inside and beds were very comfortable. Temperature inside was warm and rather humid despite the AC. Parking is very difficult if you do not reserve a space for $10+ per night, the area does not allow street parking overnight. Neighborhood is pretty rough. A few guests came into the dorm late into the night (2-4am) dropping cans of beer and making a fair bit of noise but other than that very quiet. Would likely choose a hotel if prices were only 20-30% more.

Reasonably priced

Really reasonable accomidations for the price. The bed was comfortable enough, the sheets were clean and the community use kitchen was handy. The only downside was that the walls didnt go to the ceiling and the noise really carried, so I would suggest bringing headphones or earplugs for sleeping.
