Good budget option for solo traveler and an eye-opening first hostel experience (probably wouldn’t do again as 12 people to one room was a bit much and it was hard to get good continuous nights rest). Biggest plus was complimentary breakfast. Would recommend bringing your own towel though as the one I rented smelled a bit strange. Overall, most of the issues I had were due to just the nature of a hostel and were out of Gardiner’s control, so it’s not a bad stay.
