“Lovely place except for the Bed Bugs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2005
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here in July for 3 nights, we were very pleased with the hostel on arrival, the place seemed clean and the staff were extremely friendly. After the first night things started to change with the apperance of bites all over my sister, at first there were a couple by the end of our stay there were nearly 100 bites.
When we informed the staff of this problem they told us it must of been from something outside, and couldn't possibly be bed bugs, never having bed bug bites before we knew no different but after enquiring a little futher it was confirmed to be bed bugs.

Just be careful and check the bed carefully we learnt our lesson the hard way

“My best US Hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2004

people found this review helpful

I stayed here in January 2004 - very much in the off-season (a snow storm was raging in Buffalo when I checked in). The hostel staff were very friendly and helpful - I was arriving very late (11pm) and taking a taxi early (4am) on my day of departure (I never knew if I was supposed to tip them? Would they of been offended if I did?). Security was tight - a card was required to get beyond the lobby and into the room. Eight beds in the room which is an OK number. A friendly Mexican and Australian chap were also in the room. Downtown is a bit spooky - hardly any shops and those that are there are very down market. There are some good bars on a street one block away and lots of theatres on your doorstep. Good value and I had a great stay there.
