I like Wayfair and would stay again and recommend. Staff are polite and guests are nice to talk to. It’s a charming plac

I like that Robbie is quick to respond and flexible with checkin and luggage drop off. I also like that they have juice for breakfast which I didn’t realize so was a great surprise and laundry 🧺! I also like that everyone is either a traveler, student looking for housing or seem to have a purpose and respect for the space. Easy check-in, space to cook and store food in fridge and big bins for dry foods are convenient.

I do wish there was a dedicated girl dorm. Make Dorm 3 a girl dorm! 🥰 And that there were more windows open to air out the place. Could be a bit cleaner yes but it’s doable and I’m a germaphobe so anyone wondering you will be ok.

Lovely stay

I’d definitely recommend this hostel. It’s my first time ever in a hostel and I liked everything here. The price is valuable. The rooms, bathrooms, and the entire hostel is clean that you’d feel at home. I slept in the 3 beds room and it was spacious. I brought two baggages with me and no one ever touch them so it’s really safe too. Robbie is nice too. The breakfast is for free. You can borrow a bicycle if you wish. I booked again cause I like the entire experience.

Lower your guard - this really is a great Hostel to stay in!

The friendliness of the other guests. The coziness of the rooms. The small amenities provided for that adds up to so much.

Perhaps one bathroom having an unpleasant odor despite looking clean. Fortunately, there are two other bathrooms.
