I was a little skeptical about staying in a hostel being that I'm a single, older woman. I was very surprised. It was very clean. Trudy was very nice and was there to answer any questions. Max, the dog, greeted me every night when I came in. The other guests were quiet. Ihardly saw any of them. Plenty of room. It was never an issue using the bathrooms. There was even a makeup/hair station set up so you don't need to use unnecessary time in the bathroom. I would definitely stay here again and I give it a thumbs up!!
