| - My boyfriend and I booked this last minute. Doing it over the phone, we really weren't expecting much. When we pulled up, we saw that it was in a great location. The guy greeted my boyfriend by his first name (remembering from the phone call a few hours earlier), checked us in, showed us around, and made sure we were good. The room was surprisingly nice, with windows looking out front. It was just under $80 for the two of us to have a private room. Given that this was my first hostel experience, I was quite pleased and made me think again about my thoughts on hostels.
The only somewhat negative thing I have to say is that because it's an old building, the windows aren't insulated and you can hear everything going on outside on the street, and also it gets a little chilly in the room. And the walls are thin and you can also hear everyone else in their rooms/common area, so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. But, quiet time is after 11 and everyone seemed to abide by that.
