I had such a great experience at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and well-kept, and the common area had a really chill vibe—perfect for meeting other travelers. The location was also ideal, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The atmosphere felt safe, social, and comfortable. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in town!

Camille, LOUISVILLE

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in a private room and it fit my needs for the length of my stay. I didn’t love that there were no windows in the room I was in and no outlets that I could see in the room. Also, there was a very thin, unlockable sliding door between the room I was in and another room. The noise from that persons device, or maybe tv, whatever it was, it carried so well to the point that we may as well have been in the same room. That wasn’t enjoyable. I appreciated the expansive porch and the various plants. I’d stay again if I were in the area but would request a different private room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you like 1940's era houses with a ton of charm and an artsy vibe, which I do, you'll love this place. Kind of "shabby chic". Surrounded by similar period houses and brick-paved streets, there's a bus stop just outside the gate that takes you to Historic Ybor City neighborhood and within a couple blocks of the Tampa streetcar that goes downtown. Rooms are a bit odd, but in a way that adds to the charm of the place. Kitchen has everything you need, with bottled water dispenser and complimentary Keurig coffee. Everything is very clean. Security is good, with coded locks on the gate, entry door, as well as the bedrooms, but it felt very safe anyway. No vagrants in the area. There is no front desk, but someone will come help you if you require it. Did I mention there's bougainvillea growing beside the rattan rocker on the wraparound porch?

The room a bit congested and also shared room, so can be somewhat risky, better to take a single room.Other than that it is quiet and peacefull.

Broke college student adventures

I just picked this place since it was cheap and close to Down Town and then I was traveling solo for a few days before my convention. It had the basics I needed like Shower, and wifi. I can't swim! Do not wear sandals or high heels in this neighborhood because the sidewalks around the area are bad and unstable. Panic!
