Most of the staff was kind; I only had a little difficulties with a couple of the staff when I asked a question. There were no outings available to sign up for when I was there for the weekend, because of van issues-so if you are debating about renting a car or not, because the hostel mentions outside adventures, contact them first. I stayed in both the 4 -bed women's dorm and one night in the private room (so I would not wake others in the dorm up at 3:30 in the morning.) The private room was clean although the window that lead to the hallway did not have a dark/full curtain/blinds (they were designed to let light in) and the hallway light was on all night (so bring an eye mask if you can). Also, the windows of the room faced the road, so it would be loud and some cars outside will speed by, as well as a balcony, that some guests may speak on their phone in the middle of the night, despite a sign on the ground that says it is closed after a specific time (I think 10 pm -maybe 9 pm).

You get what you pay for….the beds are horrible and I had the worst sleep of my life. Bought 3 nights, only stayed 1. Got another place that was only $40 more. Never stay on the upper bunk. The bunk beds are made out of cheap metal and are super janky. They squeak and move around a ton. I’m not sure why this place didn’t use sturdy wood and attach it to the wall. The room was too warm as well but the other guests liked the temp so I had to suffer.

Howzit was a great experience, the hostel was cleaned almost daily from what I noticed, never had many issues with waiting for the amenities. Clean towels whenever you need. Kitchen is updated and clean! The staff make it a very chill vibe. I ended up renting a car as their transportation can fill up quick and is a hot ride; I then tagged along on the daily tours. Location can be sketchy at night but never had any issues. Overall I recommend and would return.

Great Hostel

Amazing spot, especially for solo travelers. Never had a hostel who encourages interaction amongst guest, and activities as much as them!
