I had the most wonderful experience at the Dancing Bear Hostel. I stayed there for a night while I was evacuated due to fires. It was a very difficult situation for me. However, the accommodations were excellent. Most of all, Cindy at the front desk was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond for me as I saw her doing for other customers as well. Cindy was friendly, professional and again, so incredibly helpful. She made my stay very comfortable and I would recommend the Dancing Bear, but most importantly, Cindy, very highly and I am looking forward to staying at this delightful establishment again soon.

Great spot close to everything in town. Clean and tidy facilities. Not very sound proof in the rooms but that’s to be expected with the age of the building.

Checks all the boxes for a hostel. Having built-in locks on the lockers and better wifi in all areas would make it better.

This place was good for the price. They charged me a fee when my flight was cancelled and I had to change my res with less than 24 hours notice. They still charged me for the night anyway and said it was because I didn't book through them directly. They also gave me a twin bed when I booked a full bed. Otherwise it was affordable, the bed was comfortable, and the place was clean and very central. I would suggest booking through them directly.

The gas ranges do not self ignite. I could not see any matches or lighter provided and with the desk closed I had a very miserable meal, not suited to microwave cooking.

We had a private suite and we could move in permanently. It was a well designed apartment. Beautiful floors, great bed, fully equipped kitchen. A private garden! Nice local soap in the bathroom. BBQ and super comfortable chairs outside.
Compost container would be nice but this is a city decision, not just the hostel’s.
