A pleasant stay conveniently located in the heart of downtown Asheville. Whether you wish to socialize or keep to yourself, it’s a very easy stay. One side of the hostel has bunk beds without privacy curtains, and the other side bunks, or “pods”, with weighty felt privacy curtains that enclose the ends of your bed and do a great job of blacking out light. And the edged shelving around the bed made it very convenient to keep your immediate carry accessories on you through the night, in addition to your very own locker beside your bed. Quiet hours in the evenings were honored, though the duration of my stay at Sweet Peas was from Sunday P.M. to a Thursday A.M., so cannot speak to a Friday or Saturday night experience. Nice, hospitable people. Would stay again. Thanks
