City Hostel

The information on this hostel states there is a lounge area and also has pictures of the lounge. The lounge area was not available due to a long term tenant living in it. So the only option besides your bed was sitting in the kitchen which had just 4 chairs. Otherwise it was clean and affordable and great lication

Good location, check-in was a bit wild and uninstructed. Unfortunately everything is really tight and seems squeezed in. The kitchen is well equipped but the only common area and quite tiny if the hostel would be fully booked. In the rooms there are too many beds squeezed in. If it would have accommodated 5 people there would be no space for nothing. The fifth bed took all the room space. Beds were ok, I mean it’s a hostel. People were nice though, I haven’t met any of the owners or staff.

Overall I had a wonderful stay. The location is ideal and the hostel caretakers were friendly and helpful. Security was fantastic and the shared kitchen was well-stocked with any cookware you might need. I will say, it would’ve been nice to have an additional bathroom. Most days I did have to wait to use one of the two bathrooms available for guests. It wasn’t a huge inconvenience though, and is to be expected with hostel lodgings. I would absolutely stay again if I were to return to St. John’s.
