Holiday Jones has an irreverent personality, with old steamer trunks turned stereo speakers comprising the front desk and cartoony posters lining the stairwell. Rooms are compact but tidy, with splashes of comforting plaid. Gender-segregated dorms have four to six bunk beds; private rooms are available too. The large common room has couches and a flat-screen TV, plus free wi-fi and lockers.
The location rocks, near heaps of hip bars and eateries on Division St. If you don't feel like venturing out, an empanada restaurant that serves beer and wine is attached to the lobby. The hostel has the same owners as nearby Urban Holiday Lofts, so check there if Holiday Jones is full.
