Parking Options
“During my stay, I found the parking situation to be a bit tricky, but it turned out okay for me. The city wasn't enforcing parking restrictions, allowing me to find a spot right outside the hostel. Just be cautious if you have a rental car. There is a nearby garage that charges $30 a day, but if you visit on the weekend, you might just score free parking near the hostel!” view full review
Cozy Common Areas
“Although privacy can be hard to come by in the dorm-style setup, I enjoyed the cozy common areas that encouraged socializing with fellow travelers. The vibe was friendly, and it reminded me of a great place to unwind or have conversations after a long day.” view full review
Vibrant Atmosphere
“I appreciated the vibrant atmosphere in the bedrooms, even though I faced some challenges with noise at night. Between snoring roommates and the excitement of the city outside, it was an experience in itself. It made for interesting nights, and I'd say part of the charm is embracing the social aspect!” view full review
Shared Bathrooms
“The shared bathroom was functional for the most part, but I did encounter some busy times, especially in the mornings. If it's crucial for you to have minimal wait times, plan ahead. Still, it was manageable, and it's a good reminder that you're part of a communal experience.” view full review
