Everyone is so nice in this hostel. They have everything you need. It's a fantastic place to stay. For bar exam takers, you can also choose this place to save some money on expensive suites downtown. Big shoutout to JP, the best host ever :) Support this hostel as much as possible so Buffalo City will consider keeping it running!!

Shockingly clean

Before I begin, let me say that if you are never going to be comfortable with possibly having up to 7 roommates, then nothing I say here will make you feel better. I had low expectations going in. It was a hostel and the price was low, so I figured my review would say "You get what you pay for", well this was an amazing facility. It was cleaner than many "real" hotels I stayed at. It's located in the theater district and there are plenty of things to do nearby. There is no parking, but there is ample street parking. Bring a lock with you, as there are lockers to lock your valuables away, but you need to supply your own lock. They have two large common areas, where you are welcome to come and go along with hundreds of books and VHS tapes for you to use. There are some DVD's too, but if you ever wondered what happened to all those VHS tapes you got rid of, they ended up here. The beds are all twin size. I think they're all bunk beds, but I can only speak to my room. The staff were polite and helpful. The only sorta issue I had was there was never any staff at the desk, but they did have a phone to call someone if you needed any assistance.

Ultra Convenient and Cozy

This is a hostel, so you should manage expectations of privacy or luxury. But, it is in a super convenient location in the heart of downtown Buffalo, with the metro trolley outside of the front door, and the Buffalo Convention Center only a 6 minute walk away. I was in town to explore and attend a conference and found this a cheap and convenient place to do both. The express shuttle to the airport (#204 for $2.50) leaves from around the corner. You can take a municipal bus from nearby (#40 for $2.00) to Niagara Falls- so cheap and so easy!! The staff were all helpful and so warm and inviting. I liked the feel of the lobby, it was very quirky and cozy. I found the other guests to be an interesting mix of people and all were quiet and respectful. I stayed for 5 nights and slept well the whole time (with a few light bumps to the head from the bottom bunk when I woke up). Overall, this was a great find and I would totally stay here again!

Lovingly decorated kindergarten classroom-aesthetic of the whole place somehow extremely cosy. No fuss check in/out, great WIFI. Few minute's walk from the bus station ideal.

I loved staying here. It’s not a hotel, so you have to keep that in mind. It was like a clean dorm. Great people, clean, and pretty quiet.

The staff was very accommodating when I needed to purchase two one-day passes when I was furnishing my apartment. The hostel is very conveniently located in downtown Buffalo and needs your support to avoid expiring when its final lease runs out! Save the hostel!

Nice and friendly staff. Great kitchen and other facilities. Buffalo is a good city to explore on foot and bike, which the hostel provide on for-donation. However, the internet was not very fast.

It was very clean and well run. Good wifi connection which I needed for work. Could use some modernizing but for $30 per night you can't ask for more. I will stay again if I return to Buffalo. I drove and found parking for 2 blocks away for 30/night.
