Overall good stay, nice for a hostel and the fact that it’s in the middle of the city is excellent. Bed had weird stains on the pad and undersheets that was brown and I essentially had to lift the mattress and everything on my own because the base pad was disheveled and off. Cleanliness could’ve been upped a decent amount, honestly. There was a bunch of dust on my bed ledge/shelf which is WILD given the amount of turnover here…..

This hostel has everything anyone could ask for while traveling away from home. & close enough to stores and public transportation to go find what you need if you require more. Filtered water is on the premise, area to relax and possibly work, and also a tv on the dorm side is nice for football & basketball games. Highly recommend!

Overall, I have been staying at Apple Hostel for school during the weekends. Staff are friendly. My one problem is that the hostel needs to change their mattress. When staying there several weekends the mattresses were not times hard to sleep on. I found myself turning back and forth to find a good spot and I wake up at times with back pain. This is my one concern, but I will stay there because of the cost; especially being in nursing school.
