A great old hostel. Lots of space in the rooms, and located right on the water. I would stay there again.

no heat in my room (November) so that was uncomfortable but I was adequate accommodations. Not a fan of communal restrooms but overall not a bad experience.

The room was great, as well as the staff was very helpful. The colorful decor inside the room might not be to everyone's liking, but it was fun for us!

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when asked about tourism in the area! The hostel was clean, had a great kitchen, and was right on the ocean! I had a fantastic stay.

Better termed a retirement village than a "youth" hostel. I was one of only a handful under the age of 60! Staff wasnt able toadvise very well on things to do,or current events, but they did try to help at least.

It was very clean, organized, and felt more like a hotel than a youth hostel. I was very impressed. I would highly recommend the city as well if you want calm and beauty. I would definitely stop there again.

our only compaint is the sheet situation. As with other hostels, they had the one piece sheet/pillowcase thingy. If you are a large person, or like to kick your feet out at night, this isn't the way to go. I prefer to have 2 sheets and a seperate pillow case. The Place was amazing though,...

The kitchen MUST have an extractor fan. Other than fire regulations it is unhealthy to work in there. Our booking was not done well and we had to move rooms and spend one night in the dorms.

Excessively Dirty Hostel. Make sure on your booking, that beds are not allocated in the hostel annex, as ther isnt any toilets over there!!

Overall a great stay! Was given a bit of misleading information regarding lockers that forced me to change some plans....but still had a great day and good experience here. I would definitely reccomend it.

I thought breakfast was included in the price, and was surprised to find out it costs extra. That means the rate is too expensive considering the kind of facilities at the hostel. Also, i was charged an additional one pound per night for temporary hostel card, which was not mentioned when I...

One of the larger hostels we stayed in and run very professionally. Needs a bit of upgrading, but otherwise, quite fine. Location is a bit of a walk from city centre, but not excessive. Bill R. Saskatoon, Canada
