This was a great place! Staff was friendly and very helpful, location was absolutely amazing for visiting Disney, and the property of the hostel was beautiful! I would definitely recommend this to all! Great place to stay for Disney activities!

Poor location: Kissimmee . So far away from attractions and International Dr. There is a permanent guest living there. For 2 or 3 years I think. He's (or wanna be) the owner of the bedroom. The staff wasn't very friendly when I asked for some directions. Just said "do you wanna talk about the hostel? because I only know about the hostel..." . I think that you could stay in a better place with a few more bucks. That's my opinion. This is much more like a motel with multiple beds. Bad mattres

This guest was a little confused if he was staying or going. His English was choppy so their was a language barrier. Seems like he was a little homesick since it was his first time exploring outside his country. I think he was a little confused with another hostel when he wrote his comments because I remember this traveler and I never asked these questions. -- Management

A basic hostel / hotel in Kissimee area of Orlando. Quite a long way from Orlando itself. Rooms were pretty spacious with one bathroom per dorm which is nice. Good wifi, helpful staff member, nice vibe to the place. Great value if you're willing to be outside of the city (not too far from Disney, but 2-2.5 hours to Universal / i-Drive

Best place of my trip. The hostel is very close to Disney, but (for me) the best part was the staff. Just wanna say thanks for your attention.

great owner. good directions and runs a cool place. great front garden by the water. it is off season so i know why the pool is empty. the rooms were pretty good and the beds were really comfy. bus stop right at the front to take you anywhere and shops every where nearby. restaurants and supermarkets across the road. old town is a heap of fun and a short bus ride up the road or 20 mins walk. id stay here again for sure. it doubles as a motel but the dorms were full of other traveleres.

close to all the shops and the bus stop. rooms and beds no problem, not a lot to do at the hostel or the local area but the bus will take you anywhere in orlando.

our key cards hardly worked, every person in that room had the same problem there were so many other people who were loud outside in front of the doors and seemed to be drunk or something else the person who runs the hostel seemd not organized at all, the des was a mess and dust was everywhere in the "office" the lights in the room were weak, hardly any plugs, beds were shaky, sheets were dirty, floor didn't get cleaned, shower was dirty - work on facilities and make them better, cleaner ....

The guest was very unappreciative in that I gave them a courtesy cancellation due to inclement weather in NY for their previous night stay with us. Second she used the key cards backwards on the door so she wasn't using the magnetic side on the door. Third the key-cards do demagnetize if placed near phone or credit cards. Fourth she made 3 separate reservations to stay at our hostel so obviously she liked our hostel. I would of happily taken care of ALL her concerns if and only if she was woman enough to tell me directly. -Management

It was a very cozy & peaceful place. I felt very welcomed and the staff members were nice and personable. It is in a great location for tourist. I was very relaxed there and I didnt feel restricted like most hotels have a buch of ridiculous policy. This place was very laid back and reasonably priced. Im definitely coming back for a few more stays in the future.

Not a bad place but nothing special. More like a motel with a few dorms.The dorms are average but adequate. The guy who runs it is friendly & helpful and it's straight across the road from a supermarket & a few cheap restaurants. Unfortunately I was stuck in a dorm with 3 guys who had the heating on full (in Florida!) and all snored. The next night I paid an extra $20 for a single room & it was really nice. Overall the place was fine but nothing to write home about.

This hostel is Blocks from a Super Target, Walmart and across the street from a Publix. The bus stop is within a block either direction and the Lynx system fairly easy to master. They have a pretty good great room so you don't need to hole up in your room unless you want to. The mosquitoes are a bit of a problem being outdoors without protection, probably due to the number of small lakes in the area. Motels abound and weekly rates are reasonable- probably the best location for Disney et al.

we liked staying here mostly. it has a bit of a motel feeling as the building is flat and you can easily park in front of your room. the facilities for cooking were nice, people we met as well. just one of the bathrooms (we stayed here twice) was rather moldy, especially the toilet.. transportation was easy for us as we had a car, but the guy told us there is some kind of shuttle nearby

If you need a public transportation to get the parks this hostel could far of sea world and universal, but is close to magic kinkgton. By public transportation to get universal is about 2 hours and half . But if you travel alone as me you don't have many options of hostel in orlando.
