| The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It almost felt like a nice hotel rather than a young-person's place. I love that there is free wifi and that there aren't terribly annoying barriers to using it (unlike many hostels I've stayed at.) Place was clean and well-organized. Good job! | ||

| I am an Australian but I feel the Hostels in the U.S. offer a friendlier atmosphere than Europe. Also many of the U.S. hostel havea different atmosphere like staying in an old jail, or a monestary or a an old house. The meals in the European hostels are too expensive for what is offered compared to Australian prices. | ||

| The bathrooms were clean, but still smelled unpleasantly. I like that there is a door between the lockers and the beds. However, it's not a solution for snoring roommates. :D | ||
