Review & Rating
Inside, you will meet a super chill staff and an excellent bartender in the very cool speakeasy. A nice Community Kitchen features generous free breakfast and the whole place is decorated with hip posters and cool recommendations with directions. Also nice that it's super clean inside. Outside is a freaking zombie apocalypse. The best way to sum up the sketchy six is this actual event: Suburbanites on a Segway tour rolling through the vomit of a homeless dude passed out face down on the pavement. Enjoy!
Entire staff was amazing Joe,Joseph I remember by name and both young ladies Thanks guys for a great stay
Staying at this hostel is fantastic. Not only is it really clean but the beds are super comfy and feels quite safe. There are some hostels I’ve stayed at without key access to the room, but this one has it! It was in a really central area and everything is within walking distance. The staff are also really chill and awesome. I’d highly recommend staying here! (The picture is of the entrance to their lounge area which is super cool!)
We went to the bar there. The service is wonderful and they always make a great drink. The ambience is nice and you can't beat a bookcase hidden door for the bar.
Great place to stay if you are visiting for a few days and don't mind staying in a room with some strangers. Very convenient location downtown, though be wary that the noise levels and the heat can make sleeping a little difficult. Bring a lock for the included lockers to keep your belongings safe!
Perfect location right close to 6th Street. Kitchen had everything you could need and the staff was super friendly. Basic breakfast, bagels and cereal mostly but it was a nice touch. Beds were comfy but the room was freezing during the night. Overall a really great hostel and I'd stay here again.
Came here for drinks. Nice cozy spot with good drinks. They have a couple of DJs that play good music. Lots of seating but that can make it a bit tight to navigate when it gets crowded. If it's not too crowded I think it's a nice spot to visit - so probably better to go earlier in the evening then make your way down sixth.
Staff are really friendly and someone is at the desk 24/7. The location is great and the place itself is nice and clean and has all the amenities I could think of needing.
Paxton set me up in my room which was an awesome experience! She even brought the complimentary beers to the room for me and one other girl that checked in. I was here on business but I will definatley be back for leisure soon!
I highly recommend the lounge as a place to go grab a drink. The atmosphere is pretty amazing and the drinks are well mixed. The bartenders are on their A game and you will have a wonderful experience.
