A True Home Away From Home 10/10 Experience 🥳🥳 I absolutely love this hostel! The location is perfect, and the property feels just like home—very cozy, comfortable, and beautiful furniture. It features a seamless self-check-in process and offers free coffee, which is a great bonus. A special shoutout to Tyra, a staff member here who is incredibly humble, polite, and amazing to talk to. The overall hospitality is top-notch. I have already extended my stay here 7 times and even rebooked to come 🫶

It had bedbugs. We found bedbugs in two of the four beds, we told the staff and they were helpful. Offered to refund us for our first night stay and moved us to love linn hostel which is under the same management for our other two nights. However, when we got there and asked for our refund they said they won’t give us our refund until we leave a good review and show them. Shocking! The management need to stop blackmailing people into leaving good reviews. I wouldn’t reccomend either hostel.
