This was one of the best hostel experiences I've had! I've stayed at HI Austin, HI DC, HI BERLIN, possibly other locations, and many other hostels, in general. One of the most organized and consistently clean hostels ever! The bed was soooooo comfortable. The staff were accommodating of an accessible need of mine and I appreciate it. And it was a delight to run into staff member, Vincent, daily. He was also helpful carrying a hot bowl of food for me from the microwave. I highly recommend this location and will definitely return.

Perect I was amazed how well organized… Better than some hotels I almost booked the second night, but I wanted a pool so that’s the only reason I left. This place has everything covered for you super informative plenty of amenities. I’m still in shock. I’ve stayed in several hospitals and other countries. This has been the best.
