Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location within easy walking distance to main street and waterfront. Parking is available for vehicles, which was appreciated and easy to get to. Good security for building access. It would have been great to have 2 fobs as we had 6 people staying. Third bed was pull out sofa in lounge room, was okay for one night, not sure how comfy it would have been if staying longer.

    The staff are so friendly and helpful. As a single woman there on a business trip, it makes a difference for me when I feel safe and comfortable in a new city.

    Front desk staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Location is central. Room was sound proof. Different types of pillow choices for comfort. Good enough for a cheap hotel. I've stayed in several other discount hotels in the area and this one is definitely in my top 3. Courtyard/parking lot is lit up well at night for safety. This was my third or fourth time staying here in 3 years.

    For a cheaper option this hostel is the way to go. Friendly front desk person, parking, and we had the room to ourselves as our room had just the 1 bunk bed (thought we would for sure have roomates). Location is alright 20 min walk to get to the music venue we were going to and several breweries.
