These guys are cheats. Stay away!! We booked accomodation for 2 adults and 2 kids here. However, on our way to hostel, we were told that room we booked is not available and we should find alternative accomodation as we won't fit in 3 kids beds ( only room they have). They asked us to cancel the reservation through Expedia but then did not refund the booking amount.

Overall pleasant experience. Wish there was more signage and the phone number was inaccurate. Still, we were able to check in to our clean hostel without a worker and had a pleasant experience. The bathroom was especially nice.

Good and affordable place to stay in a quiet neighborhood at Inverness. It took us a good minute to figure out which room was ours since it's a self-check-in process and the keys to each room were on the doors. Overall great stay.

Cool Place!

This was a really cool place to stay. Our group stayed in the 5 person room which had 5 single beds around the walls. We called it the "Seven Dwarves Room." The room was huge, with its own bathroom and we were very pleased with it. The beds weren't the most comfy in the world but we managed. The kitchen was clean and well stocked and the other guests were respectful and kind. We stayed in several hostels on our trip and this one was one of our favorites! There was confusion during check in as the number provided to contact someone for help wasn't working or no one was answering. Not the best way to manage the property. But keep access to your email as this property uses that as its primary form of checking you in.

Not a very good location, poor repair, and overall quite dirty. Seems like a place the owners are just trying to milk for what they can without putting any effort or work back into the place. The freezer in the kitchen was so iced over the door wouldn’t shut.
