You wasn't really too far from much of anything you could walk down to Pike Street. The pier wasn't too far either from there a bunch of different little shopping areas. A Target really close by. If you're a Target person and there's a little souvenir shop on the corner that has good deals

Very new experience.

Never stayed in a hostel before so this was a whole new experience. Every single staff member I encountered was more than accomodating and went above and beyond. Was different sharing a room with others however if you are just needing a simple nights sleep for a reasonable cost. This is your place.

Came to town to attend a concert, and this location was amazing. It was also nice to partake in the tours that are offered through the hostel. What a great way to travel… although, I haven’t stayed at a hostel in almost 10 years, it was a great way to meet other travellers .

This was a super place to stay! It definitely follows suit with other hostels with shared rooms and bunk beds, duh, but it's clean, the bathrooms and showers are plentiful and seem pretty new! The beds come with a light and fan which was really nice. Everyone was very helpful, breakfast was a nice addition and better than what you could get at a motel or something. Perfect location to everything and public transit too! Would definitely stay again! Thanks!!
