The receptionists were very helpful and friendly during check-in and check out. They helped me find a parking spot as well during check-in. They maison good hygiene in rooms and bathrooms. The lobby area is vibrant and has good seating, kitchen and pool table to spend time. My only concern was that the linens provided, especially the towel, was roughed up and looked old. They were clean tough. Also note that there are no elevators. So accessibility may be a concern for people with disabilities.

I enjoyed my stay. The bag check is helpful and it’s in a really walkable part of town. The beds could be upgraded to limit noise and movement of the bunks, but it’s great for the price. Close to transit and close to the waterfront.

Overall, I have been staying at Apple Hostel for school during the weekends. Staff are friendly. My one problem is that the hostel needs to change their mattress. When staying there several weekends the mattresses were not times hard to sleep on. I found myself turning back and forth to find a good spot and I wake up at times with back pain. This is my one concern, but I will stay there because of the cost; especially being in nursing school.
