    I don't have any improvements at this point. I only had a short stay and everything for me was perfect.

    A great location in Thunder Bay. Staff was very friendly and informative. I am a single female traveler and the hostel made me feel safe and comfortable in the environment.

    I have no complaints.

    Everything. Amazing and well kept little marvel just a stones throw from the Casino and other dinning establishments. Right close to the waterfront. Open and spacious. We stayed here on our way out to Manitoba and decided to re book for the trip back. We stayed in “The Suite” this time around and I love its very large handicap accessible bathroom. I am a little crippled up and I really appreciated have the extra room in the very large floor shower stall. The fact that the also have a bath chair in the stall was awesome. The breakfast they offer is very good. Coffee and tea. A large fridge with individual buckets for each room so you can keep your own food to cook. Well equipped kitchen. A large comfy sitting area with good games and books to play or read. Just a really wonderful experience. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Highly recommend. Price is great.

    Bed was small and marginally comfortable. Location is ok but a bit of a seedy area.

    Nice hostel with variety of rooms. We had the suite which is dog friendly. Huge walk in bath. Very nice staff.

    My husband has anxiety and is not open to some change. There is a no shoe policy…meaning you have to leave your shoes in the main entrance and because we had sandals on…we had to go bare feet. It caused him worry over someone stealing his shoes and possible germs on the floor. This is a real fear for some people. But we were able to overcome, and the friendly staff and owner let him carry his shoes to our room and keep them there. If your in sandals and bare feet you hen traveling in summer …there is a Dollarama just a few blocks away and socks are a $1.50.

    We loved how easy the property was to get to. The whole facility was very clean and it has a unique vibe to it. There is a wonderful feeling of acceptance from other guests and Staff. the Staff were amazing. Our room was spacious. the bed was comfortable and and the pillows were awesome even though we travel with our own. The bathroom was well equipped and clean. The complimentary Breakfast was one of the best I have had in a long time. There is a large common room with games to play. The white walls are filled with anecdotes of other travellers who have stayed and left their mark on the place. wifi worked great and the air conditioner units in the rooms work beautifully. A great place to stay

    Love the vibe, staff & cleanliness! It's like staying with a cool family of like minded people! Going back in 2 weeks on our way home. Only place we have booked twice for our trip from Southern Ontario to Nanaimo & back. Loved reading all the comments on the walls from past guests, too :)! (Didn't get a pic of our bathroom, which was very cool, but took a pic of the main floor shared bathroom off the living area). Can't wait to come back!!😀

    We booked the Suites with a private bathroom. There was a common kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans and refrigeration. We were able to cook our meal and eat it comfortably. Traveling with an EV, we were able to plug our car into an outside outlet, allowing us to charge overnight. Wonderful experience.
