I had a great stay. I have no complaints.
This hostel has a very efficient and well maintained security system thru code numbers. The hostel is also very punctual about enforcing lights/lights off periods. Very well organized and friendly. Great value for the money and terrific location.
Was my first time staying in a hostel and I loved the experience!
Nice clean hostel, big rooms though. Kitchen is really clean and well equipped. Prices seem to be expensive but you don't just get a clean room for your money also a lot of other things, eg. Free coffee, tea, sometimes cereals and sometimes even free drinks:)
Very disappointed that we could not stay because on arrvil we were informedd we need member ship cards and or a student ID to stay. And that we had to live 100 mile out of the city to stay. I have stayed at other hostel without a membership with no problem. I should have been call if the mileage was a problem before getting there. I am very thankful I was not Charged the cancel fee the manger was friend. But all in all put a monkey wrench in my day of plans. The girl at the front desk helped us find south street Nd steak sandwhich place before departing
Breakfast daily, please! Just the cereal on Fri and Sat improved my day immensely.
the night temperature in the 2nd flr women's dorm was very uncomfortable and energy inefficient it was set at 73 degrees (one night it was 76)- way too hot. Usually sleep temperature should be much cooler than evening temp (check with the doctors) - probably around 65 degrees
I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the modern decor in the hostel. I appreciated the movie and beer night. The kitchen was large, open and in excellent condition. The other travelers were quite friendly.
It was good, my only problem was that it was a little cold at night, but it was good.
Nice central hostel with friendly staff.
