Sorry to say, but i didnt enjoy my stay at this hostel at all. We had some bad experience with our room mates so that we actually had to change the rooms. The beds are old and awful, the facilities are bad too. Its cheap but not worth the money. Sorry.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay here with us Ingo! On the norm we get great people here for roommates who you can experience all the awesomeness Vegas has to offer...sadly sometimes as it is with all hostels there's a chance you might be in a room with someone who you don't get along with. Our facilities are rated highly by other travellers who come and stay here - sorry that you didn't get the full experience of Vegas but we hope to see you back again some time - safe travels!

It was a pleasant stay in hostel cat, provided that the location is easily attainable by deuce bus and the self make pancake were tasty. Very value for money as the room i stayed is clean. Also, they have diff activities at night which u can opt to join.

Glad you had a great stay with us - We strive to make the hostel a place where you'll leave feeling like you had the most out of your trip from Vegas - Our casino gambling tour is a great one with all those free casino drinks...yum! Hope to see you pass back through sometime soon!

nice place, especially the well-decorated courtyard. only stayed for 1 night, but that was a good night out in vegas. helpful staff, good rooms. though you have to walk about 20mins to get to the first casino.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us - our courtyard is awesome for meeting new people to hang out and pre drink with before heading out on activities! The strip is pretty big - 4 and a half miles but we're in a great location in-between downtown Fremont street and the main casino part of the strip. The duece bus runs 24 hours too so can hop on and off down the strip if you don't fancy walking as it's pretty big!

Rooms and photos are on all our websites - we have lots of people coming through so our rooms are still bunkbeds even when booked as a private but you still get your own space and privacy. If you need space for desk to work check out some cool hotels down on the strip where you can book a suite with work space Sorry about the wifi in the rooms - we were having issues with our outside connection but it was fixed within a day to a new router. Hope you're having safe travels!

I enjoyed the Hostel,its price and easy location but there were a few resident and visitor problems :Many travellers all of which were german sit up and hold secret meetings by speaking only to one and another in German. Minimally friendly,apologetic,sneaky and starefaced is a beginning to express being around them. The German girls took turns as hostel staff to save money, but did not do simple tasks such as removing hostel towels from vacated beds. I have never asked to work for stay

I'm glad you enjoyed our price and great location! We are a international hostel so we get a lot of travelers who are excited to meet and talk to people from back home. We have housekeeping every day to ensure that our rooms are tip top - sometimes people check out late so linen and towels aren't collected until the late morning but we have checks in the afternoons to make sure that everything is as it should be

Eventhough i stay just for 1 night there was something friendly in the enviroment and the staff was great they make you fell you are at home and thay are very friendly with someone new. The activities are true, they have all the day some activity and generally they are pretty cool so if you are planning to pass by las Vegas and you are thinking of staying in a hostel to live the "vegas experience" this is your hostel.

This hostel was so much fun! When I first walked to the front door I thought I'd accidentally booked a cheap motel! But it has been so great, really cheap, good nights out organised by the hostel, good people, free wi-fi, good food, clean, free lockers, everything I want from a hostel is here, and of course Las Vegas is such a crazy fun place. Hard to find when I got the bus at night from the South Strip Transfer Terminal but that's my fault for not being organised enough. I well recommend it!

Hostel Cat has an amazing social environment, all you need to do is put yourself out there a little bit by going on the organised activities and the rest sorts itself out. The Monday night free show tour was awesome. I've never had so much fun on a Monday. The hostel may look a little run down, but that's just a first impression once settled in you will find that everything works how it should. I need to remind people this is a hostel not a hotel, you didn't pay much to stay there. Value!

Place had a great atmosphere and the organized events the hostel did made it ideal for those traveling alone to vegas. Would stay there again.

It was a very good experience to be there. They are very very nice people. I stayed for just one night with them. I was so happy for them arranging tours and nightly excursions to the city center at a very cheap price.
