Lovely boutique style hostel. Great bang for your buck. Parking was difficult in the sense that nobody was quite sure of the rules of the area. We found amd paid for overnight parking nearby.

I really enjoyed my stay at KEX! The room I was staying in was key card entry only and there were only 4 bunks (women only). I always felt very safe and that my belongings were secure. It's very accessible to downtown by bus and there are always a lot of Lime scooters outside or nearby. They have free coffee until 11am which was nice, and a bar that's open until midnight. I came during a pretty severe heatwave (40° C or over 100°F). The AC was great and the bar was always willing to fill my water bottle with ice water. Front desk staff were also extremely helpful and this is honestly the best hostel experience I've had so far as a solo traveller.

Ask the front desk for parking options, they’ll give you a printed sheet with great, low-cost options. Loved our stay. Don’t let the shared bathrooms for double rooms scare you away, it was clean and easy! Would stay here again and I’ll recommend it to others.

This was a very nice hostel and I felt very safe. I stayed in 4 person bunk room with all women and it was very nice! The doors can only be opened with a keycard for that room. The sheets and bed were very clean and comfortable. I slept in the bottom bunk that had a little curtain which made me feel like I had my own little space. The bathroom was down the hall and was very clean.

Really enjoyed staying here! Was my first time in a hostel and I honestly felt totally safe. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff were friendly. They provided water, towels, soap, and earplugs and plenty of storage underneath the bunks. There's space for a padlock for each storage drawer.
