The hostel is accessible, clean, and has decent amenities. As a quick overnight/recovery stay for backpackers, which I'm assuming is their target demographic, it's perfect as there is a kitchen and community area that I'm sure provides a lot of home comforts to those who have been in the wilderness for days/weeks on end. However, there is no air conditioning, the windows didn't open all the way, and the ceiling fan was old, and creaked loudly. Considering it's about 100F all day and only drops to about 80 at night in Bishop, this leads to a very uncomfortable night of sleep for those who need it before getting back on the trail the next day. The check-in process was easy and the host very kind, checking in on our ETA and sharing the amenities of the space. I only docked stars for the lack of AC; I consider my ability to sleep the number one factor in rating a hotel, and I didn't sleep at all due to the heat.

What a wonderful place to stay. I love the uniqueness of the house. We stayed in the 4 bunk room, with a private bathroom, and it was perfect. The staff were great also! Would recommend this hostel to others and will definitely return if we are in the Bishop area again.

Everything was wonderful at our stay. Our communication with our host was easy, and the facilities were great. Our only issue was the squeakiness of the beds. They made it a bit difficult when sharing a room with others.

I stayed in a dorm so there is not a real mystery. A fine place to stay and of course it’s the cheapest in town.

Having never stayed in a hostel, I was not real sure it was the right thing for me. I am a 76 year old woman, single and thought it would be noisy and more appropriate for a 20-30 year old. To my surprise there were guests of all ages, from all over the world. My stay was very pleasant!
I stayed in a mixed shared dorm room another risky move by me however it was great with 3 women and 1 young man from Austria.

It wasn’t the cleanest place. The bed was so creaky. It was relatively quiet.

Advertised as having ac but the property doesn’t have AC at all. I asked to leave and get a refund but no refund receipt was provided. I hope everything goes accordingly to plan and they get the ad corrected.

Loved finding a unique/alternative friendly place to stay that was also very comfortable and offered a variety of accommodation for those that enjoy the side streets..

Never been so disappointed. Would not suggest this place to anyone.
Needless to say we booked another hotel.

This is not the room I reserved. The facility was dilapidated, and two dogs were constantly barking in the whole house while staying in the room next to mine.

The front desk service was friendly and fast check in. None of the couches were not comfy to sit on - it’s the only thing I’d suggest get upgraded. The bed was very comfortable. Guests were nice friendly people.
