Amazing hostel, so happy I chose it. The receptionists are amazing, friendly and informative. The rooms, bathrooms, lounge and outside areas are all super clean, welcoming and comfortable.. the activities are a lot and they pick you up from right in front of the hostel. And the downtown is just a 20 mins walk … totally recommend!

Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, staff were very nice and easy to check in and out. Would have liked a water fountain but that’s the only thing I could find that wasn’t positive about the place. I do recommend having a car if you are here as it’s 10 min away from center drive and far walk

I didn't like no night front desk, and guest not cleaning after themself, small shampoo for 35 dollars to use for a couple days, very over priced, dorm lockers extra small can even fit a carry on, front desk not very helpful if services not contracted with them and get a commission, got pretty warm at night. I liked the location and very close to BSI.
