Great hostel in the university district!
I was in the 5 bed co-ed room, which is split into two levels: bunk bed on bottom floor, and three single beds on the top floor. The top floor is like the attic or loft, so getting in/out requires a little mobility. This also means the roof is slanted above your head so you cannot sit up straight in bed if you get the corner bed. Didn’t bother me much as a short woman.
The hostel itself is relatively spacious with some nice amenities: free breakfast til 11am, free coffee/tea 24/7, hot tub, lounging/smoking areas out front and back, two living room TVs with streaming, lockers, bike rentals, etc. It is also walking distance from High St (with plenty of food/drink options) and Ohio State University.
Because of the price (book directly for better deals), location, and comfort that makes this place really feel like home, I noticed that most people tend to stay here a little while. Whether that be for school or work. Personally, I enjoyed how this made my 5 day stay feel more comfortable, familiar, and homey. However, for those looking for a traveler’s/party hostel, this might not be the place for you.
Lastly, Robbie (the manager/host) was always available if I needed anything. He’s very friendly, chill, and personable. Will give you great recommendations if you ask.
Thank you for proving a safe and comfortable place for me to stay! Visiting for Lost Lands and stayed to wait out Hurricane Ian before heading home to Florida
