10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful hostel in a great and walkable location! The on-site laundry and 2 kitchens were a huge plus. The decor was adorable and quirky. Only drawback was the nearby construction made parking a bit confusing, but the staff was incredibly helpful. There is also a bar and common area for travelers to hang out in!"
