I love that this place is on the North Shore! I met some great people and if there were any issues the staff took care of it right away. Naturally hostels tend to be places where people stay up late and have a great time but there wasn’t a great place to do that that was away from sleeping people. I was on island for business and had long busy days so went to bed earlier then the norm and people were loud past quiet hours. I appreciated that the staff cleaned the dorms each morning but I do recommend having house shoes since dirt and sand will easily get tracked into the place. I also recommend brining a blanket or sleeping bag liner if you come in the winter because it was very cold at night and all they give you is a sheet. Kitchens are located in the dorms so be aware that people might be cooking when you’re trying to sleep! Not many great places to chill, making it easy to leave. Over all I like the location and the business.
