Our experience at this hostel was better than what we have seen at some hotels for well over $100!! The room was great, very clean no dust or odors. Sheets were fresh and clean as well. Next time I will bring my own pillow though as they were well used. There was a good sized locker for all four guests but we didn't think to bring a lock for it. We took our chances anyways and thankfully nothing happened. My boyfriend and I felt very safe with the other two people that slept in our room as well as everyone else we met in common areas. The kitchen was absolutely wonderful, all types of utensils and common household things to use. We only stayed one night but had we stayed longer this would have been an awesome feature. The common areas and bathrooms were a bit grungy, that seems to be expected with lots of people sharing these areas. But the showers were really well kept. The top floor is a blessing, no noise from down under bothered us and there seemed to be little activity on this floor from other guests. All and all this hostel is a cheap and extremely friendly way to spend a vacation and I will definitely be back!
