After arriving I was subjected to a 30 minute 'chat' on what I should and shouldnt do in Niagara and also told that my last location (Toronto) was terrible and when I said I enjoyed it there, I was made to feel stupid. Patrick, the host who met me is a friendly guy - but too friendly. I dont need... More

Great location, staff were pleasant and helpful, price was good. However, the private room my girlfriend and I had rented had bed bugs in it, unfortunately we did not even know until after I was bit. Although the room was very tidy and no indications of bed bugs were present when I check the room out (ie, sheets, mattress, box... More

In July 2011, my friend and I stayed at the ACBB Hostel Niagara. We stayed in a 6 bed all girls dorm and had a great weekend. Not only was the hostel itself pretty amazing, but we spent a lot of time chatting with the friendly owner. Having stayed at the hostel (under previous ownership) with an international friend when...

I arrived in Niagara Falls for the 2011 marathon having done my research (when travelling from Windsor, ON - take the train!). Rather than getting to the hostel at the last second, I arrived a day early, and had a chance to relax, drop off my heavy backpack, and walk around Victoria Ave. This has to be the closest feeling...

First of all, I have to briefly tell the story of traveling from Windsor, Ontario to Niagara Falls the day prior to the marathon (24 Oct). Figuring how well-traveled the route is, I figured there must be nonstop trips between the two cities and the trip couldn't possibly be more than 4-5 hours - wrong! I had to bus it... More

This hostel is in a great location but that has to be the positive thing that i can say about staying here. The staff are very casual so you dont actually know who is staying at the hostel and who is working there. (One of the staff also tried desperately to sell me trips that they organised personally which was... More

I arrived in Niagara Falls after a long greyhound journey from Philadelphia. The bus station is pretty tired, and there didn't seem to be a lot of life around the place. We flagged a taxi down to take us to the hostel, were the taxi driver said that he had heard great reviews about the hostel, so we were looking... More

I arrived and immediately felt very welcomed and part of a community. Patrick, Rick and Shelly are very friendly and have amazing tips about what to do (thanks for the "unorganized - organized tour" to the winery. They connect travelers and help you get connected to them. Also, I had the best shower in ages, very warm and good water... More

Travelled from Toronto and stayed here for 1 night whilst we enjoyed the fantastic falls. Hostel was literally 5 mins from the main touriust area. Patrick could not have been any nicer and even pointed out extra activities for us to participate in, off the beaten track! Rooms were clean and the free breakfast was a fantastic extra considering the... More
