The most unique and cozy place

Wow, so well decorated! Such a unique place with a cozy outdoor space and swimming pool. Lovely people as well, which made me and my brother feel right at home. We had a nice little room to sleep. Definitely will book here when coming back!

Brett, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Alena, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Had an amazing time at India House! It really was a true hostel experience, getting to talk to many travellers of different walks of life. Easy streetcar access and the neighborhood was very safe.

Great.deal
Juscelino, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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...)
Alena, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Sydne, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect. Would always go back there
Marion, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My new favorite hostel 👍
nadiya, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect budget accommodation. We were in the Green House and had the "Ocean View" room LOL (it overlooks the pool). The beds were comfortable, the AC worked fine, and it was perfectly quiet at night. Never had to wait for the toilet or shower down the hall. The shower was decent but the sink definitely needs more water pressure. Safe area, had no issues parking the car on the street. Would stay here again.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The buildings and rooms were unique and private. I wish we could have used the pool but we were a little self conscious because of all the young adults.
kathleen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very unique. Community style accommodations. Different from what I'm use to staying at a hotel, but pleasant and no hassles.
