Very good

A great hostel in a...
Liked: I loved the location, it was close to everything! I loved how close it was to Canal Park and that it was in the heart of downtown. The beds were super comfortable and I slept like a baby! The sauna and cold plunge made it exceptional!
Disliked: The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner, but overall it was a great hostel experience!

It might have been good...
Liked: Location hard to beat, despite the Covid-diminished downtown. Close to a coffeehouse, cafes and a great bakery. A short walk to Canal Park and museums. The hostel staff members I encountered in the morning were very friendly.
Disliked: Heat was cranked up and very little air circulation on the main floor. Curtain on bunk was important for privacy, as I was situated near a hallway door and two bathrooms, but the poor design made it very hard to pull the fabric open and closed. A tiny fan in the bunk cubbyhole was likewise essential (to make the temperature tolerable), but the USB plug was broken, so I had to forego charging my phone till morning. Tour of property didn’t mention key things like entrance to sauna and location of towels. No visible place to curl up and read (except bunk), though a spacious kitchen with seating.

Disappointing
Liked: I like the location. Even with the construction, it was easy to get to.When I arrived and saw where my assigned bunk was located, I stated that I did not feel safe being in that particular bunk, and the person at the desk did his best to find me another one that night. I had changed from 2 nights to use that one night, so I could make arrangements for one more night elsewhere.Although the new bunk was available for one night only, I took it, and it worked out fine.
Disliked: I woke up at quarter to 2 in the morning to a very heavy smell of skunk-like smell. I have a problem with this type of smell from the new marijuana. I had a headache, and I could not get back to sleep.There was also loud conversation outside that could be heard..For my locker, twice the Desk person had to come and open it up because it did not work properly. Once was the next morning at 7:30 or so.I have stayed here before, and it wasn't bad, but this wasn't the best it could have been. What did improve was that the person on hand was ready to assist and was very patient with me.

A little friendly reception please.
Liked: Considering it was a dorm style setup, it was relatively quiet during waking hours and sleeping hours.The bed was soft, had minimal items in the curtained off lower bunk, but it was comfortable.
Disliked: I did not realize I had to walk down 2 flights of stairs. I have a bad knee and was in pain doing so. The person who showed me did not even volunteer to help carry at least a couple of things for me down the stairs so I could hold on to the railing. He just said sorry and kept walking us down to a chilly basement.If you didn't have a phone to call someone, there was no one to talk to or to ask if you needed assistance. The person I had talked to didn't seem to want me there, and he seemed to be the only one. It was a cold reception when I arrived and it wasn't any better when I left.I like to give places a second chance and I will go back here again to do that. I hope it was just a fluke, and it will be better this next time.
