The staff were incredible! They were so helpful and sweet. Sheets, towel etc were all provided. Everything was pretty clean and nice. Definitely recommend staying in the woman-only rooms if you’re travelling by yourself:)

The room is clean, all the sheets are replaced after every guest. Staff are also helpful. The breakfast is the only fly in the ointment, which is just oat and milk.Maybe just add some bread will be better.

This was one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was friendly, the room and restrooms were clean, and the decor was Instagram worthy - and also very calming at night. 10/10 experience. Thank you!

The staff was very friendly. The bathrooms were clean . The bedrooms were great and private curtains for reducing light and sound worked well! The artwork was fun! Breakfast was a good start for the day! Love the location in the GASLAMP District.
