Room was clean and comfortable. Used the kitchen for breakfast and dinner but huge group came in and took over all the sinks and much of the prep space. Shared kitchen could be bigger but it was a one off, otherwise they had everything we needed. Great location. Recommended.

Stayed in 4 bed double bed dormitory. Hostel itself was good just be aware of other people might not be respecting the quiet hours. People check in at mid-night and unpacking, keep moving luggage and open the light. Alarms and message notifications keep ring from 4am. Only barely got few hours sleep on and off.

I stayed in the standard area of The Barn as a solo traveler and felt very safe during my stay! I stayed for two nights. Both nights my dorm was full, but the second night I found myself as the only woman with less-than-courteous dorm mates. The Barn staff was helpful in finding me a new dorm, which I really appreciated. I would stay here again.
