The Crash Pad - An Uncommon Hostel

I liked the layout of the hostel and how close it was to the music venues.

- the outside area was great - the sink in the room was convenient - the common/kitchen area had a lot to offer - great location - The walls are paper-thin. Our neighbors were extremely loud all night. I would be surprised if others didn’t also complain. You hear everything, which made it uncomfortable to speak loudly. The shows or parties going on nearby were also heard every night. Some vents also directly connect to the hallway, allowing for shared audio from all parties. Not a good design. - it takes a while for the water to get hot so showers took longer than expected

Mens bathroom was not too clean

We stayed in one of the private rooms and it was really great. Love the personal sink in the room! Free parking was great and they let us store our bikes inside overnight which made us feel a bit safer about having them with us. Noise between the rooms was a little tough, but I think that definitely varies with different guests and voice levels. Overall not a problem, but more something to be aware of.

Oven, Fridge, coffee maker and other kitchen appliances need to be kept clean after each guest. Also, provide cleaning products for counter top in kitchen. Toaster was dusty.

Nothing

This was an absolutely great hostel, it had all the basic amenities but a tonne of extras that made the stay exceptional. Having stayed in a million hostels in Europe I was very surprised to find such a good example in the US.

I have no idea how this place has such high ratings. Although initially the check in clerk was kind and somewhat helpful, my stay at this hostel was disgustingly bad. I opted for a private room which was actually not even close to what the misleading ad boasted. It was very hot with no thermostat to adjust the temperature and it was also very dirty. The entire place smelled like the combination of a filthy college dorm room and a musty locker room. It was rather disgusting. I booked the room to get a good nights sleep and got none at all due to the combination of several disheartening matters. First of all, as I stated, the room was very hot with no thermostat. Then there was the continual noise from an entry/exit door next to my room which had a loud clanking lock mechanism that sounded off constantly throughout the night as people went in and out. The room was not sound proof at all. Worst of all, after lying on the bed for a while I began to feel itchy bites from something (bed bugs maybe?) all over my body. After a full sleepless night of this ridiculousness, around 6am I eagerly rushed take a shower to wash off whatever was biting me in my bed and in less than five minutes the shower water was ice cold. I sincerely do not care to write such a critical review but the truth is that this place was terribly misrepresented online and it was so bad that I honestly would have been happier to have slept outside in a tent at a local campground.

super clean, awesome location, hip modern look, love this spot!!! parking not clear

The place was clean, organized and safe!! The owners and staff were very helpful Loved it!!

Great location, facilities, and free complimentary stuff they offer such as Coffee, and earplugs to sleep. The beds are clean and comfortable, shared bathrooms are clean. The only missing thing with this hostel is free parking, but there are plenty of options nearby to park, of course, you need to pay for it - I spent between 4 pm on the arrival day to the next day around 11 AM $30.

It was ok for the price.

Really lovely hostel beautifully designed and very practical. The shared shower room was very clean and with helpful hints posted within as well as washable face cloths instead of disposable. The bed was very comfortable but the stand out aspect of my stay was Will the manager who couldn't have been more helpful. I arrived a day later than planned due to a car accident and Will couldn't have been more helpful. The hostel shares space with the Flying Squirrel next door owned by the same people I ahd delicious food and drinks there also ver stylish and with good service. Would definetely recommend a stay here, also great restaurants and a dog park within minutes walk. I should also add the grounds are lovely with a fire pit, barbeque and interesting planting. Brilliant for either a solo traveller or groups/couples.

The private room was lovely. If a little cold due to air con. But you can always get more blankets. Bed super comfy. The location was the key though, the bar next door is awesome for food and drink and alot of the cool pubs and bars are within a 5 minute walk! When I went it was a little quiet so the social side wasn't amazing, but as I say, I went out of peak times so not surprising.

It is located in an area with several restaurants and bars¿perfect for those who want to enjoy an evening out! Despite it being in that area, we had no issues with noise and were able to get a good nights rest. We would definitely come back!

convenient location and super comfy beds!!

Parking!

I absolutely love this hostel! It’s nice and clean and the staff is really friendly and helpful ! I’ve stayed here a few times since the 1st time. As a solo female traveler I would say 10/10 recommend!

Exceptional

Traveling with a family of five this couldn’t have been more perfect. Great location with excellent restaurants within a short walk and room set-up was perfect for our group.
