I have no regrets after staying 3 nights. Luxurious? No, but perfectly fine. Great staff. Enjoyed porch, deck. Super location
3-night trip

6/10

A decent stay if you are not expecting too much. Place is pretty small and can feel packed, but if you can settle yourself in, it's a okay place to spend few nights. The area itself is not exactly great as there are many homeless in there. Hostel felt safe even with the area not being the best.

Good value for an excellent location. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to sleep, with a fully equipped kitchen and a great communal space. As long as you don't mind sharing a room, bathroom, etc. Helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay.

Very good hostel. Clean, tidy and friendly staffs, free-to-use kitchen, funny common area. Please note that you need to bring your own slippers, as they don't provide. I will live here again next time I'm in Ottawa.
