This hostel definitely has a fun vibe and a good atmosphere. My husband and I stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and thought it was a decent night's sleep. The kitchen area isn't the best because there is only one stove, so only one group can be cooking at a time, which makes it difficult to guarantee that you will be eating when you want and means you either have to start early before the dinner rush or wait until the previous group is done.

We had the family room with a private bathroom. It was very new and clean. The shower was a little tricky though as the curtain did not go all the way down to the floor so water can easily get out. Also, it would be even better if there's a desk in the room. The two small stools were not enough for the 4 of us to put our stuff. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very unique. We stayed in one of the new rooms which was nice except the shower was very tiny. They should have just left the curtain off and it would seem like more space. Also no place to put shampoo etc in the shower. Lots of outlets in the room which was great

Since this is a hostel, they have shared bathrooms which I didn't realize while booking. They also have some rooms with attached bathroom. When we got there to check in the person there told us there were some repairs going on and there was no hot water. We decided to find a different place and she mentioned she will contact the manager to get us a refund as no one was available. I contacted them from the booking site a day later and they refused to give a refund. Overall the place is decent and lady who showed us the room etc. was very nice but the management has been terrible and keep refusing to give us a refund of our booking even though its their fault.

Freezer Hostel is a combination of hotel rooms and hostel/camping accommodations. It has an artsy vibe and good shared amenities including a kitchen and a very welcoming common area where they host live music and other events on weekends. We cannot speak to the rooms at the property itself because our room was not available upon arrival due to an electricity issue. While this was poorly communicated before our arrival, the host more than made up for this by being super helpful when we arrived and by housing us in an alternative apartment around the corner that was definitely an upgrade from the single room with private bath we had booked. The staff were so friendly and I wish we would have had time to come back to the hostel to enjoy their events but we were always too tired from touring. I would return to this property in a heart beat. It seems like a very warm and inviting place to stay.

this place is pretty far from restaurants but our main priority was to have a safe place to sleep for 1 night before we continued on our journey and it was perfect for that. they have a great common lounge that looked stocked with games, but we were so tired from hiking and driving all day that we didnt get to use this. there are lots of great and funky art pieces on the property and paints on the walls. thank you for a great stay!

Staying at the Freezer Hostel was unique. It had delightful art and provided an opportunity to meet people. We reserved a family room for 4 people and the double bed was really small for two adults. It was a great location to check out some if the sights in the National park.
