Welcome to a real old-fashioned hostel, the type where the rates are low as long as you perform a daily chore (dish washing anyone?). The chore policy obviously works – the place is kept spotlessly clean with the communal areas avoiding the overflowing clutter of some hostels. In total there are eight bunk rooms, and amenities include laundry, storage and free internet access.
In the lounge area, the overstuffed sofas are strategically placed around a large bay window with a view of snowy peaks and Douglas Island. The one downside is the strict 9am to 5pm lock-out policy, but for this price, who cares?
