Customer Reviews HI - Madison
| 01 Jun 2013 Lyndsay, USA | 100% | |
| This well-appointed hostel has everything a hosteler needs for a comfortable stay in the beautiful city of Madison. Its location couldn't be better: 2 short blocks from the scenic Lake Monona in one direction (as well as the convention center), the WI State Capitol Square in another direction, and plenty of pubs and restaurants in any direction. I'm sorry I hadn't discovered this hostel sooner! Hostel response: | ||

| I can't fully fill this form out because although I booked for two people and received confirmation that my reservation for two people had gone through, the day before I was supposed to stay in Madison, I was informed that they couldn't actually accommodate two people. It was hugely inconvenient and the folks I spoke with were nice enough but they barely acknowledged the inconvenience of my suddenly, the day before arriving in Madison, having to scramble to find a place to stay for the night.
