First hostel experience, so I'll probably sound judgier than most. Cleaner than I expected. 2 private bathrooms, rather than the stereotypical communal showers. They have most everything you need, but bring your own toiletries and lock if you'd like to use the lockers. The pictures provided are of multiple rooms, so you don't know which one you're getting. I stayed in the female dorm on the 2nd floor with 2 three-tiered bunks. These bunks had very little headspace (you can't sit up in bed.) The room was also quite hot considering it was winter (65-75 degrees) and the window was open. I'm very sensitive to heat, so this was concerning to me, especially if you were to stay in summer. I was worried about the beds being cheap and uncomfortable, but that was not the case at all. I have several back issues & it was equally firm & soft. Very little floor or storage space if the room were to be full, so be mindful of that.
Pancake batter is provided for breakfast from 6-10AM so you can make your own on a griddle. Loved the community feel and that activities were provided (though I wish there were more options for someone over 25.) The staff & home reminded me of living in a MTV's Real World setting or a frat house (but cleaner.) Music was played nearly all day long until the 11 PM quiet hour and loud talking was heard outside beyond that time. The staff were very loud all times of the day. This frustrated me because I wanted to get good sleep, so I could leave early. I'd say fairly unprofessional honestly--however they were kind, friendly & helpful--just young and having a good time. I have no clue if that's how all hostels are though. I expected no frills, which it was, but I guess I was just looking for something more low-key and relaxed.
Overall great value! The experience has opened my eyes to trying out other hostels in other cities, so i'd say it was a win.
