The room was decent, the common area was nice too but the lower level & hallways could use some maintenance & better upkeep. Just didn't have cozy vibes and felt like walking around in a mechanical room / hall. Baseboards were off the wall, paint needed etc

First time staying in a hostel and this place exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly, free bear spray to check out each day, free bus pass, large lockers and under bed storage. The restaurant and bar had great food and drink options at an affordable price.

The area around the hostal is really nice and the staff are very helpful. I had trouble sleeping because I am a bit sensitive to noise and I could hear the steps from outside my room and upstairs. Besides that, everything was really nice.
