BonPaul's hostel was what I expected and needed for the price I paid. Just wanted a decent bed and clean bathroom for my short stay in Asheville and that's what I got! It was very quiet mostly. I actually had the dorm room to myself on the second night. The few that I ran into were very pleasant. The location was great... could walk to dining and cafes if I wanted to. If you're traveling on a budget and just need the basics, this is good choice.
