It just felt like it was an in and out kind of place. Not really a place that was welcoming and warm but a stay for a night and get the heck out.

5 bed dorm was a too small for that many beds and there was no window so it got extremely hot. The only other downfall was that there were coed bathrooms which was a little awkward. Staff are extremely friendly and overall our stay was good.

Nicest staff you will ever meet. Excellent beds, with keycards for all rooms, and pin access for nighttime. Nice clean kitchen, and free internet. 5 mins walk from Hamilton central - ideal place to stay. Highly recommend this place.
