First experience staying in a hostel before visiting the White Mountains area. No complaints. Not sure if they have a locker, possibly they do, but check.

It was a beautiful night to be in the Hostel courtyard. Several other guests to talk with and share. The vibe was chill.

Our first time in a hostel. We were warmly greeted, given a tour, and shown to our room. We didn't interact or mingle, as we were exhausted. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The patio was very big and comfortable with couches and a nice fire pit. The house was a bit dark, but was also very welcoming!

Great spot
This place is so cool. It's a funky early 1900s house in a cool little part of town. Walk to bars and a brewery. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable. Only 2 downsides are 1) the thermostat must have been set for 80 at night because it was cooking. 2) it's an old house so you can hear everything including steps and water running. Overall cool place

A good safe place to eat and sleep
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.

Awesome stay
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.
