Clean, colourful. Staff guy was friendly and helpful. Chatting with people.

TV in the middle of the common area. Distracting and becomes the focus. Reduces interactions with other humans. The TV was noisy when we wanted to sleep and chill quietly.

1st time and good in total experience in hostel, superb staff, convenient location. this location has everything you need and will be nice if stay longer, you can cook your own food.

if can provide some cloth hanging and bathroom supplies would be nice.

Flexibility in checkin.

As a retired travelling couple, we liked to be among friendly young people.

location

For the most part, I liked the set up of the facility. It appeared to be bright, open and relatively clean. The bed and pillows were great. I loved having the option of a separate room with its own toilet. Great location.

I felt the kitchen area could be cleaned way better than it was. I understand that it is a communal kitchen but, as we all know, not all users are good users. I’m curious to know why the staff on duty didn’t clean the kitchen to ensure that other guests would have a clean kitchen experience? I also noticed that much of the laundry (bedding) was folded in and on the main living area (the couch). Shouldn’t this be done in a more sanitized area? As for the staff that were present this particular day, not sure how things operate regarding the guides, front desk person etc. Not sure if they were actually on duty or had the day off or a break??? However, they were in the living room area having wine and watching a movie. Not sure who was “on duty”. The reason this bugged me is because, the kitchen was dirty: dirty dishes in sink, dishes on the drying rack that needed to be put away, garbage/ recycling that needed to be changed…grimly fridge door handles. I mean, if they have time to watch a movie, they have time to clean the space for the guests.

kitchen and laundry facilities

Bring and prepare all your own food. Friendly and helpful hosts.

good facility, lots of opportunities to book hikes, paddle boards etc.

It was simple, basic and very relaxed ! There is a large common room where people, mostly serious hikers, can gather and exchange experiences. The atmosphere was very relaxed and communal as a Youth Hostel should be. It was a good stepping stone for getting to the Deer Lake airport in the morning.

Since it was late September, it was cold in the room and there was no heating. We helped ourselves to towels in the back supply room since there was none in the room.

Comfortable beds, good bathroom, wonderful shared space.

Shared kitchen space would be more effective with better organization and labeling.
