Parking Insights
“I encountered some parking challenges during my stay, but I got lucky! Since the city wasn't enforcing parking restrictions when I visited, I found street parking right in front of the hostel. I heard the garage nearby charges $30 a day, a bit steep, so I was really grateful for the luck.” view full review
Cozy Atmosphere
“Although the privacy is limited due to shared spaces, the room maintained a cozy environment. I truly enjoyed the chance to meet different travelers. It can be a bit noisy from outside activities, but the energy of the place was part of the experience.” view full review
Shared Amenities
“The bathroom is shared, which could be a downside if you're in a big rush! It was manageable during my stay, but I recommend planning your showers around peak times. Having only one bathroom might require some patience, but it fosters a sense of community.” view full review
Entertainment Within Reach
“During my downtime, I appreciated having easy access to a variety of entertainment options within walking distance. The nearby shops and cafes made it simple to unwind or grab a snack after a long day of exploring.” view full review
