Great location!! Clean! It is a hostel so sometimes your in a room with other people and sometimes by yourself….near highway, free trolly, bus stop, ybor night life…all walking distance, been here before and will stay again
This is bare bones accommodations, but for the price, it is terrific. I needed a place to stay for one night (just 12 hours, to be exact), and this place was safe, secure, clean. I walked to some stores and restaurants. I got a hot shower and a good night's sleep.
For the price; its was enough. I had stayed with other locations owned by different companies and I would say that this was very pleasant. Of course sharing a room with a complete stranger is not ideal but the facility was on point .
The people, who working in hostel are very friendly and they did help me a lot during my stay in Tampa. The room, restroom and kitchen were also very good. I would recommended it it to all who want visit Tampa.
I very much enjoyed the location, amenities and the vibe of the place: clean, bright and super comfy! Appreciate the host's attitude to the guests, it was extremely welcoming and warm! Thank you so much for making my stay incredible!
