It’s a Hostel so not much to review. Loud music outside till late. Grab a towel when you check in as some staff won’t give to you in the evening even though that’s when most people take a shower. The Pub crawl has been cancelled even it is literally advertised in the hotel, and in the email.

People working had excellent customer service; very friendly and helpful. The male bathroom wasn't the cleanest possible. I would rate this place 8.6 stars out of 10.0 for its nice atmosphere and helpful staff.

Disgusting and will never stay here again

Cons - Floors were disgusting. I didn’t want to step on them at all. Bathrooms and showers weren’t cleaned until my second day there. Most the staff were nice except one guy but they were rarely at the desk and available. The bathroom door broke and the solution was to duct tape it instead of fix the code. The sink was broken. Our door to our bedroom was broken and anyone could’ve gotten in. The hostel is also a bar so not only is it loud until 2am but anyone can walk in from the street and come upstairs to the hostel which I saw multiple men do. With a bathroom and bedroom door unlocked, this didn’t feel safe. The bar/kitchen area was gross and nothing looked like it’d been cleaned in months. When you put your bag/suitcase in the locker under your bed everything gets dirty because the floors aren’t clean. The first night 2 staff were in the hall building a bed frame loudly at 11pm and dropping tools and we couldn’t sleep. The next night a staff member was playing a bongo in the middle of the hallway. Pros - 10 minute walk to union station. Food nearby. Some nice staff. Quick check in/out. Curtains on beds for privacy. Air conditioning worked well in bedrooms.

Skip this one

I normally don’t like to leave bad reviews but people need to know a few things about this hostel. I stayed here two years ago and it was definitely a better experience then. It has gone way downhill. Every aspect from the kitchen to my bunk to the common areas and the bathroom was filthy. Garbage everywhere, the kitchen was nasty with dirty dishes and food left out. Dirty towels left in the bathroom. I found garbage between my bed and the wall on the morning I checked out, which confirmed my suspicion that the sheets hadn’t been changed prior to my stay. And the cherry on top: I’m covered in bed bug bites. This place offers incentives for leaving good reviews so please don’t trust what people are saying. I will never stay in a hostel again, especially this one. I was extremely disappointed.

The host Jared was super accommodating and welcoming! The property itself is filled with history and is not boring and uniform like most hostels i have stayed at in the U.S. I will definitely be back and would recommend a friend. Jared if you read this, cowboy Neil at the wheel here, thanks for the hospitality!!

I liked that there was a bar downstairs and it was nice like in the pictures. There was music all night, but it didn’t bother me (if you’re sensitive to that stuff, I would recommend headphones) I would 10/10 stay here again!
