This hostel was very comfortable, clean and excellently run. All the staff were helpful and friendly and communication via AirBnB was excellent.
If you don’t have a car Downtown Asheville is about one hours walk away. Even if you have a car I’d recommend walking or getting a bus as finding free parking is a bit of a nightmare. Having said that West Asheville has many cool restaurants and shops of its own to keep you amused.
My one “complaint” point would be that the breakfast promised in “breakfast included” barely exists. It often consisted of just a small loaf of bread and a few hard-boiled eggs (often a few days old) to share between everyone. Basically just factor in that you will be having to buy your own stuff for breakfast or eat out. It was this slightly misleading inclusion in the description that made me mark it 4* rather than 5.
