Spent 3 nights here as a solo female traveler and had a good experience. Customer service was so welcoming and kind, with attention to detail for any question I had. I didn’t get the chance to participate in the extracurricular fun such as a the bar or rooftop, but other guests seemed to love it. The women’s 6-bed room I stayed in was presented as very clean, and I loved the added locker and shelf space for each guest bunk.
The one exception to my stay is that a guest in one of my shared rooms had left some food on the floor (bag of chips and other items in a grocery bag), immediately next to my lower level bunk. I woke up in the middle of the night to rodents eating their way through the bag, I didn’t see them as I had my bunk curtain closed, but you could plain as day hear the scurries, squeaks, and rustle of the grocery bag. By the time I woke up, the guest had left with their bags so it was near impossible to verify this. As a side note, I was staying in the older side of the hostel, so the building walls probably had tunnels of little rodents. This was only one of the nights, but still concerning as I was the lower level bunk and god forbid I woke up with a critter on my bed.
The price was worth it for a solo traveler per night, but any more than 2 traveling guests you may as well get a hotel. Parking not being included hiked up the price significantly, but it’s the price to pay for city parking in a small neighborhood.
Overall, would stay again if it came down to me visiting solo, but I would request a spot in the newer building to avoid any old building resident critters.
