Basically Perfection

Stayed with my 15-year-old daughter (hostel stays with her sometimes). This place is covered in gorgeous art, the staff are more than welcoming, the facility was so clean, our room was comfortable. The other guests were friendly. It was basically perfection.

Emily, 8-night trip

2/10 Poor

Annoying people

Nice kitchen for a hostel, too many freeloaders, working and visiting the place. Hot tub broken, pool not heated. Old men are either dominating the TV watching 40yr old movies or youngsters playing video games. Not enough bathrooms . Staff apart from the cleaning women are a bunch of boring gen Zers obsessed with other people's food.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay! I’ve stayed a few times and I have been satisfied each time. The staff is great and very helpful if I have any questions. Andrea has been awesome with making sure I am settled. I do plan on staying again in the near future.✌
Symone, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

California experience

A less expensive alternative to hotels, this place was friendly, not especially clean, and had a diverse client base. The kitchen was large and had space for your food. Pleasant outdoor seating areas. They organized a few group events that were fun. Don’t rely on any off-street parking, but it’s not too hard to find a spot in this residential neighborhood. Public transportation (bus) not very convenient but downtown not far if you have a bicycle.
Laura, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was a lucky find. Very friendly community, clean and colorful, and hospitable. Great for a first visit to the city. Close to airport too. Staff was responsive and helpful. Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler.
