Summary of traveller reviews

SLC Hostel in Salt Lake City offers a very clean and functional stay. Guests appreciate the convenient location near public transport and Hertz. While some find the beds a bit small and privacy could be improved with curtains, the overall experience is positive, especially for solo travellers seeking a practical base.

This is more a self serve place to just eat and sleep. The kitchen utilities were nice and there were plenty of showers. The common area is just 1 table and nobody was there the whole time. Nice place just no community or staff.

I knew it was a mistake when I walked in, any hostel with a remote staff isn't going to be a place I like. They tell you point blank that your car may be broken into and your bike stolen, it's located in a seedy area, the sheets smelled sour and that has got to be the smallest bed I have ever been in. Seriously, lying down my nose was around 6" from the bunk on top! No lockers in the room either. The best part was there are two induction stoves but no pots that work with induction stoves. It seems like it's
