Caroline was most gracious & helpful, particularly on arrival. As the elevator was broken, she took my bags up to the 3rd floor, which was great as I am recovering from a fractured arm. The woman barista this morning was pleasant. The staff really made my stay very good!

My stag was quiet, and the staff was kind and helpful. It was nice having coffee right downstairs, and the hostel is within walking distance of pretty much anything you might want. Their website mentions parking is tricky, street parking it $60+ a night, but I parked overnight at a garage about two blocks away for $20/night. I will stay here again.
