Great place along the river Great place, right along the river and across from the park and the recreation center. We walked along the river trail at night and in the morning. There have been moose sightings along the river trail and people fly fish all along the river here. Great location!! Amazing communal kitchen and shared spaces. Great events in the evening in addition to board games, fire pit, jenga, a great bar… It was very quiet except the doors are very heavy and you can hear the heavy doors opening and closing which woke me up often. I grabbed some free ear plugs from the front desk which helped. The blinds let a lot of light through so if you are light sensitive, they do not have black out curtains. But overall, I HIGHLY recommend for value, quality, location, events and the hostel community!!

I was skeptical at first but on arrival I was definitely not disappointed.. the cleanliness was amazing because that was my most concern prior to booking. Also the room/property is very quiet and calm.. 10/10 recommend..

I like the kindness of the staff. The patio with a trail and a river view. Only I didn’t know there is no inside bathroom in my room. But the common bathrooms are good.

Very clean. Staff was nice when we seen them. Lots of walkable locations and the river walk was beautiful. However. The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Had to buy billows to get some sleep the second night. Was unable to stay the third night due to the pain.

We loved our stay in room 104, the staff was superb, and surprisingly despite the events we never had issues with noise which was very nice. The only item I'm dinging the property with is ventilation. The 104 wing needs proper ventilation in several areas. 1. In the all gender showers black mold is growing as a result of insufficient exhaust. Steam is trapped in each shower cell and making cleaning impossible. 2. The individual bathrooms are sealed and do not have vents at the top. This is extremely nice for all gender privacy but it traps stink for hours. Either tripling central exhaust CFM and increasing the ceiling gap or adding building exhaust to each cell would eliminate the issue. 3. The entire hallway needs outside exhaust to remove smells from the rooms & hallway. There are plenty of smells in the hallway that buildup simply due to a complete lack of airflow, and the individual rooms also trap air (I think the internal system either doesn't bring in any fresh air, or it only recirculates in the room. Anyways it might sound like we had a bad stay, but I would recommend this place to anyone with some significant adjustments I addressed. Please feel free to contact me when it's done and I'll likely book another summer stay! cheers, -b

Beautiful Hostel but can't predict roommates The hostel was super clean and well planned out. I just could not sleep in the bunk beds as there was constant noise from others in the room (people coming in late, whispering, flipping lights on and off, getting up and down, a clock going off every hour, etc). There was also a loud band playing until 10am and I needed to sleep early for an early wake up time. There wasn't room to really organize myself or my things, or for others in the room to do the same, so there was constant zippers opening/closing, shuffling around, etc. I stayed in hostels as a younger person with no issue so maybe I am just getting old!
