The first guy at the front desk gave me a room full of dudes despite the fact I am a female. I hate the first night and the next day when I came back, someone who book-in took my bed (I didnt leave any stuff on it so the cleaner made a new bedding). This time, there's a different guy at the front desk and they noticed I'm room with males, so gave me another room that's empty and will pair me with females. Overall if this happens to you, just let the front desk know.

Left a lot to desire
Definitely one of the barest-bones hostels I've ever stayed in, and I think they'd probably have to go for a full remodel to match the lowest requirements for any standard modern hostel. tl;dr: lack of outlets in room, building not designed for summer weather, very cramped bathrooms, & ask specifically for a towel I had one bed in a 4-bunk room. Room was fairly spacious. Top bunks had no safety bar. There was a total of four outlets, but they were all behind the room door, out of reach for all four bunks. One had to be used for a room fan, since hot summers are a relatively recent thing for Canada (no AC), so I ended up charging my phone in the common room (lots of outlets there!). Surprisingly small number of toilets for the number of beds, but I only stayed one night so no issue. bathroom design is weird and cramped. there's like ~1 foot / 30 cm between entrances to toilet stall and shower stall. Towel rental was not offered at check-in so I thought towels were maybe included with linens - not the case, so just remember to ask if you need one. Overall, would not stay again, but fine for the one night.

Very basic place to stay…nice and convenient to downtown and the port. I must stress basic though. Don’t expect anything fancy. They don’t have an elevator so expect to drag your luggage upstairs… not for handicap people.

Just spend a bit more and go somewhere else
The water of the shower is minimum if someone else is also showering. The showers are tiny. And you are basically sleeping on top of a club where the beds are trembling because of the bass.

good hostel!
Overall this was a great hostel. The staff was very nice! I found everything to be clean and pretty comfortable! Here are a few things I think everyone should know: - CHARGERS: charging your devices may be a challenge. this is an older building, so there are not many outlets in the rooms. the ones that they provide have been so used that it’s difficult to get chargers to actually stay in the port. plan to charge elsewhere or have some sort of backup. - NOISE: this is a party hostel, so there will be noise. however, i want to be clear: on the weekends the noise is unavoidable (especially on the first floor). during the week, i had no problem sleeping as i would just pop in my earphones. the hostel also provides ear plugs on request. however, on the weekend, the music was EXTREMELY loud until ~ 3am to the point that my bed was vibrating. not a huge deal for me, but i do think people should know!! if noise is a big deal for you, you might consider booking elsewhere. - CLEAN and COMFORTABLE: everything was great otherwise! the kitchen and bathrooms areas were very clean and i saw no issues.

Everything was just not it. I refused to stay due to how the staff treated me and the cleanliness of the front desk/close by area. I am usually quite tolerant of issues, but I just could not stay here because of how different the place was compared to what was addressed in the description.
