Great Last-Minute Find with a Nostalgic Touch!❤️🤩 I was honestly a little worried about staying here after reading some of the Google reviews. But since we planned our trip very last minute, we didn’t have many options — and I chose this hostel mainly because I wanted to relive my school days and enjoy that kind of experience again. Surprisingly, we had a really great stay! Uncle Dalbir went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He checked in on us a couple of times just to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. His warm hospitality and kind gestures really stood out. The hostel itself was clean and cozy — no complaints at all! If you're looking for a simple, nostalgic, and welcoming place to stay, I’d definitely recommend this one.

The room and kitchen were clean and staff were helpful and friendly. I was one of few guests at this time, which made it a pretty quiet place to stay. However, the walls are very thin and I think it could be noisy if the rooms were all full.

Die Unterkunft ist im kompletten Umbau, was zur Folge hatte, dass man mitten in einer Baustelle ohne Türen und entsprechendem Dreck geschlafen hat. Der Besitzer hat mir ganz stolz erzählt, dass er vor paar Tagen endlich ein Fenster eingebaut hat. Die Bäder sind nicht abschließbar, weswegen ich ein unglückliches Zusammentreffen mit einem meiner Mitbewohner am frühen Morgen hatte.

The Vernon Hostel was an interesting stay. Next time I would spend the extra $20-40 per night to stay at a motel or hotel with a private bathroom, towels and window. My partner and I were looking for a unique experience and it was just weird. We paid extra for the deluxe room, the bed was clean but soft, it was quiet but the walls are thin, and no window and it was hot in the room. The dorm was adjacent to the common area and was separated by a curtain which anyone could access. The owner was helpful but noticed him policing the two bathrooms and one available shower. Overall, it was fine, I’m tired, it just felt as though we were staying in someone’s converted office building.
