Great Hostel! This one rivals European Hostels which is encouraging for USA. It is close to everything and they really make it a fun environment. I felt myself and my stuff was safe. Very clean. One staff member, I think her name was RiRi (German) who worked late night helped me with ideas for sights to see and I shared some of my suggestions for travel as well. Staff was great and surprised at all the activities they provided. Will def recommend.

5-Star at Howzit!!

Have you ever heard of a five star hostel? Well, now I have stayed in one! The building was awesome, the team was awesome, the Daily activities were beyond awesome! I love to manage one back in the continental US. This team really knows what they’re doing AND how to provide an awesome safe place to stay for travelers.
