United States of America1 review“Overall, good service from staff.”Multiple sinks were slightly clogged in the bathroom. They give you your bed sheets, pillowcase, and sheets. I didn't expect this; checked in late, so I was shuffling around for a bit and felt sorry for my sleeping roommates.
Welcoming staff, clean rooms, water dispenser, kitchen, designated zones for smoking and non-smoking.

United States of America2 Reviews“They are amazing, for first time to visit OB, it definitely is a great experience.”May be a pump on the roof for water make some Low-frequency noise. I would give an advice that they can put some springs system or soft pads under the pumps for release the vibration.
The staffs did a phenomenal job, take security immediately, clean kitchen frequently, control the rules well and friendly to guests all the time. They also provided several small and sweet offers.

United States of America3 Reviews“Met a great group of people.”I was on the first floor and there were no women's bathroom. There was one all gender bathroom but since there was a shower in it. It almost always was occupied. I had to keep going to the all gender bathroom in the common area. Both my chicken tenders and alcohol were thrown out before the date I was leaving and I had them marked. Breakfast just had eggo waffles, oatmeal and small muffins, coffee was the only breakfast and breakfast stopped at 9 am.
It had a great vibe and I met a lot of friendly people. I always had someone to hang with.

Sweden42 Reviews15 helpful votes“Swedish traveler enjoyed his three night stay”There are few restrooms which is especially notable in the morning. The upper bed in bunk bed was a little difficult to get out from. A minor thing, provide a toilet brush so the guest can clean if he has done a mess with number two. That will make it nicer for the next guest
This is an excellent hostel. The environment is very good. I really enjoyed the breakfast and that there were both coffee and tea during the whole day. The kitchen is well equipped, the only thing that lacks is a proper owen (there are two micro). The storage box under the bed is excellent.

Brazil7 Reviews1 helpful vote“Clean and great location!”The room I stayed was too small for 6 beds, so If 2 of 6 girls were with the bags open, it would be difficult to walk in the bedroom. No shelfs and no locker for big bags, just small ones. Could have a curtain around the bed to give privacy and protect from light. Not all, but part of staff not very friendly. Also, I was working from my computer and couldn’t find a place outside my bedroom that was warm and slightly quiet.
Super clean, organized and I felt safe there . Super close to the beach and close to a target, another great grocery store almost in front and a great sushi near!
