Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I like everything in this hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped, very clean and roomy. The bathrooms are always kept clean with many clean towels. There are a lot of seats/sofas in the lounge and dining room. I like everything in this hostel. It is the best hostel that I have been in USA so far. Thanks to the manager and all staff working in the hostel. You guys have done a great job.

    Very organized. Not every hostel has a good safe space for your carry-on luggage. A lot of bathroos too. The location is excelent.

    Best hostel I´ve ever stayed in! Incredibly private beds felt like a separate room and were super comfortable. Breakfast was great and facilities were really nice. The individual bathrooms were also amazing. Awesome place!

    Fantastic hostel. The staff was super cool, check in and out was super easy (all virtual, no need to give back keys or anything). Great location, all was clean and organized. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, there were plenty of activities and it's a great place to meet new people.
