Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I feel the place was wrongly advertised, I personally didn’t feel safe since I showed up. Regardless, I had to fly home for a family emergency and I was okay with still paying for a couple nights, but was still charged for the full five days of the stay. I understand that they have rules when it comes to cancellation, however this was out of my control, I was just hoping for some more understanding to the situation.
The Hostel is delightful, a super spot, wonderfully kept, very comfortable, with a very helpful and kind owner and staff. I would recommend it highly!!
Our host Don was wonderful! Very cordial and helpful.

Some traffic noise
This place is kind comfort. But this place is placed beside a busy high way. Some traffic noise. I do not commend this place for someone who is sensitive to noise.
