We had a fantastic Thanksgiving they even had stuffed Turkey. We had a very nice stay here, eventhough it was only 1 night, it might have been the best (after our weddingnight ofcourse). Thanks guys!!!

Not Bad, Not Great. Rooms need to be cleaned more often.

Great location, no alcohol policy is an unfortunate mood kill.

I personally didnt like the sheats... When I was sleeping I always kicked them away and ended up on the plastic cover of the matress... not really appealing!!!

fun friendly hostel but very expensive, if paying this amount would expect to at least get towels/use of lockers included

Nice enough in terms of cleanliness and location, but the staff were not very friendly and no alcohol was allowed which meant there was no communal atmophere. Bit dull but ok if you are just looking for a base to stay.
