Room doors cannot be locked so anyone staying in the house can enter other rooms anytime. Guests are provided keys to only the main door of the house. The place is located walking distance to Niagara Falls. Would not recommend walking around after sunset since it can be quite quite and dark. Owners were friendly and helpful. The house is kept clean. The only thing I couldn't figure out was the location of their washer/dryer and they charge $5 for a cycle.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for your nice comments. To be clear about the rooms, we are a small home hostel with only 4 rooms, three of which are 4-bed dorm rooms. We've never had a problem with people wandering into other peoples rooms. All rooms have lockers which guests can use to lock up their valuables if they wish. The city of Niagara Falls is pretty quiet and walking to and from the Falls at night is not a problem. It can seem strange though especially when you are coming from a big city like New York. We provide laundry service to our guests for $5 a load (wash and dry). The washer and dryer is not accessible to the guests which is probably why you couldn't find it. Anyone wishing to do laundry just needs to ask us.

Myself and two friends couldn't have been happier staying here. We got a really warm welcome, great advice on the area and good company in both the owners and our fellow guests. Our stay here alone was worth returning to Niagara Falls for!

Very nice owners and stay. It's a family provided hostel, so it is much more friendly than any other. Thank you again!

Can't recommend it enough. Very homely with good facilities - loved the pancake griddle! About ten minutes flat walk to the falls. Carol and Andre are very welcoming and friendly and made us feel right at home. Excellent price for a lovely place to stay. Nice communal area -living/dining room.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for the nice comments about the staff and our cleanliness. However, we are very sorry and a bit saddened by your review since the rest of it is not accurate. There are 2 baths for 12 beds. The night you were here there were 11 people in the house NOT over 14. There is also parking on the street RIGHT in front of the hostel and a big empty lot diagonal to the hostel - totally free. We accept only cash to keep our rates low and not have to pass on the merchant fees to our guests.

Carol and Andre were very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely stay this hostel again. It was my first ever hostel experience and I had a great one. 10/10 for cleanliness.

Caroll, the owner, was extremely helpful and friendly, and gave a lot of advice about what to do, where to eat, shop, etc. She and her husband are also avid travelers, so I had a great time sharing travel stories with her!

This is probably one of the best hostel/guesthouse that I\'ve stayed at in my 3 years of travelling very clean, comfortable, and great price. The owners of this place are delightful and they made our stay enjoyable. The only thing I had to complain about was that I missed breakfast each morning, but oh well that was my fault for waking up late. This is a great place! (also don\'t forget to ask about \"The Why\" breakfast place just 3 mins down the road, its for people like me that miss breakfast)
