A good shared accommodation. The place was kept clean. Free parking. I enjoyed staying here. Choose this place if you want to walk to almost every restaurant and shops . This hostel is very close to the Center of the village.

Great option for solo travelers. The place is very clean, and the kitchen is a nice bonus. The only thing missing is an extension cord. because there’s no outlet by the upper bunk

Perfectly good hostel. Typical hostel shenanigans (some of the younger folks being very loud at 5:30 am shouting and chatting for 20 minutes on their way out. That's not the hostels fault).
Only quirk folks should know is cooking wise it's microwave, toaster, and electric water kettle only. No other appliances provided or allowed. They have two large fridges and freezers. I was just doing microwave meals so I was solid. Room was comfortable. Internet worked just fine. Was nice and warm when cold outside. Staff was friendly and kindly when my initial credit card was declined (was a previously compromised one that was cancelled I forgot to delete from my payment profile)

This is nice place to stay. It’s clean and quiet. However please get new mattresses that are actually comfortable. And offer real blankets instead of sheet thin tiny blankets. Also the pillows are extremely flat and worn out.
Bedding in general please update.
Other than that house keeping is really good and it’s a cool place to stay.

Hostel was clean and comfortable. Check-in was a bit odd; your key and info are in an envelope on a bulletin board.
Small common area but a large kitchen. Overall, if you're trying to save a buck to spend later up at Mammoth Mountain, this spot is hard to beat.
Lots of parking right out front, easy walk to a brewery.

I've stayed here a couple of times now and the cleanliness is questionable. The blankets, shams, pillows, and comforter are not washed after every guest, they smelled. Clean towels are provided and you see the difference how there are washed. Aside from this the hostel is conveniently located.

We booked a queens bee for 2bed. We just needed a place to sleep after a drive. Overall good. Room was clean. There were bedsheets and couple of towels. Shared bathroom was clean. Kitchen was smelling because someone might have just heated their food. Overall good if you just need a place to crash.

Hostel stay
Check in time was an hour after the time noted in the email which had stated 2 pm.
Apart from that all was good. We had a two person room with one queen bed.
Bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. Shared bathroom was clean and the shower was good and water hot. Unusual bathroom layout with two toilets in shared space with no individual doors, but one could lock the outer door if needed.
Convenient location and it was quiet the night we stayed.
I would stay here again.

I liked that it was quiet, but that was probably due to that it wasn't high peak season and there weren't that many people staying there. It's an older place, but I didn't have any issues with the place, and I didn't need to speak to anyone about services. The bathroom rugs need to be replaced; they were discolored, and one of them was a towel, not a rug. I also liked that there are many places where you can walk to, such as restaurants and shops. Also, the town has one of the best skate parks I have ever visited. I was never told about amenities, and I noticed that there was a jacuzzi there, which I later found out was available for guests, but I was already leaving when I found out.

I’ve stayed here twice this season. A few things I would adjust. All the pillows are like an inch thick I think they should throw all of them away and get real pillows. Also they give you very thin blankets and it’s cold in the rooms. So I had to aft for a comforter and luckily they had one.
As far as nice staff they deff are very nice.
Also I would recommend painting the walls a new color. Gray or sage Greg, antique white something modern. The yellow walls makes this place feel very old and dated.
It’s deff needs some love but the price is perfect.

The price is good for a bunk bed. Kitchen is nice but no cooking allowed.
Car entry has poor signage. Check in office is shared with Holiday Haus -- confusing.
Room for improvements: Men's restroom is small, with 2 toilets and 2 showers. Restroom is locked out if one person decides to lock it while using. Bath mats are soaking wet constantly -- disgusting to walk on with bare feet, so bring shower shoes. There is a TV room. Other than that, there is no living room you can relax in. Wifi is very slow -- can't send a small attachment in an email or text. Better just use cell connection. Quests are generally respectful of others, but ski equipment can take up a whole lot of space in the bedroom and there are nothing other than the floor for everyone's stuff -- like a mine field when there are 4 people sleeping in the room. Common area furniture are all very well used.

Excellent hostel.
I would highly recommend the Moderne Hostel to anyone looking for a clean, affordable hostel.
The bunk bed room and amenities I used were clean and maintained. The shower had hot water. They provided an extra blanket in the bedroom locker.
I recommend bringing an additional extra blanket and warm socks just in case you tend to be cold and you want to sleep with the window open for ventilation, as the mountain air from an open window is cold at night.

Shower took a while for temperature to stabilize (it started very hot) and cool down. Kitchen was excellent with plenty of room in freezer/fridge. With only 1 bathroom there could be a wait, but I had no issues. Staff was helpful. Great stay for the price.
