8/10 Very good

Reasonably priced

Really reasonable accomidations for the price. The bed was comfortable enough, the sheets were clean and the community use kitchen was handy. The only downside was that the walls didnt go to the ceiling and the noise really carried, so I would suggest bringing headphones or earplugs for sleeping.

Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is your typical hostel. Just a bed and shared spaces. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and everything was clean. I would stay there again.
Philip, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel has multiple sitting areas, a great deck/porch area and an amazing sauna and cold plunge tub. Jake, the manager was very friendly and helpful.
Cheryl, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a good hostel. The bed was softer-cushiony than any stay I had at chain motels and hotels in the past 10 years. I will stay there again. I had a private room for my wife and me. My car was safe in their lot.

Sort of hard to figure out where doors and building is. Going in back door is best. Lots of things close by. Hippie feeling in a good way!
Bill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Hotsel is absolutely amazing in term of location, cleanliness and staff helpfulness and accommodation! The only and also a major complaint is the locker provided along with the room. The provided number combination works sometimes and cause problem twice that needed assistance from staff, which is not available after hour.
Le Thanh Dien, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service with affordable price

Comfortable place if you’re looking for something affordable without fuss. There’s no 24-7 front desk but management is very responsive via phone. Relatively clean. People just need to follow the rules and keep common area clean. Most people bring their dirty habits with when they travel, but for the most part, the facility does well with keeping the property clean and safe. I have been here a few times and plan for more stays.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful city

Great vibe, friendly staff, and comfortable and clean accommodations. Will definitely recommend and stay again in the future!
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dude who was on duty Saturday night was rarely at the front desk. Water station ran out and nobody refilled it. (We had to grab a half-open jug of water and poor into our cups) No soap, shampoo in bathrooms. Only 1 towel in private room. No lock on bathroom stall door. Overall, falling apart, not taken care of. Need more people to give the place some love and care.
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had dirty stained sheets and someone removed the fan from our bed. Our charging cubby had leftover trash from a previous guest.
Miranda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

You get what you pay for!

This will get ya what you pay for. Quick overnight stay is what we needed. We paid for a private room, but the staff didn’t know if our room was private or not which we were concerned about cause there were socks on the floor and unmade beds. The ceilings were also not enclosed, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, good one night’s sleep and a shower.
Marcela, 1-night trip

It was unique, artsy and very welcoming. Staff was laid back and very accommodating. Would stay again.

So warm and cozy! Very helpful and friendly staff. Never have stayed at hostel before and such a wonderful affordable option instead of staying at a hotel and paying for things I won't use.
