Area felt safe, although seemed to be a lot of drugs going on and homeless, but no trouble at all to me and my daughter. Places to eat were really nice. Cost great and staff really nice. Kitchen clean and free breakfast. Rooms ok although bit of repairs needed. I would say overall nice place to stay.

Welcome Retreat

Lovely welcome and staight forward check in after a long flight. All areas of the hostel were incredibly clean with the private double bedroom and associated washrooms etc spotless! Thoughtfully, ear plugs were in the bedroom for us to use (room facing the busy street) but didnt need them.

Could be better

Bad points: I booked a female room and they put me on a mix room with 3 guys and I didn’t feel comfortable. The lockers are too small and my luggage didn’t fit inside. Good points: The breakfast was very good, also the location. There is a common space to turn on the computer and work.
