    comfy bed
    clean facilities
    easy check-in
    broken windows
    loud ac

    I stayed in a 6-bed mixed dorm. The self check-in was super easy, no drama there. The bed was comfortable enough, but the setup felt a bit basic. Some windows were broken, so they couldn't open. Also, the AC was blasting, and I had to block the vent. On the plus side, the place was clean and the price was reasonable. Just watch out for parking. it can get tight!

    A Cozy Retreat with Friendly Vibes!

    Our stay in West Asheville was fantastic! We set up a tent outdoors, enjoying the clean facilities and friendly atmosphere. The staff were eager to assist and keep everything immaculate. Try to grab a parking spot early. street parking can get busy! Can't wait to return!

    Comfortable bed, clean kitchen, good atmosphere, where I appreciated the quality sheets and the well-equipped kitchen that made my stay enjoyable, with a great location just a short drive from nearby hiking trails and only 20 km from the nearest airport.

    Great stay! The bed in the 6-bed mixed dorm was super comfy. Bathrooms and kitchen stayed clean. Free body soap, shampoo, and conditioner were nice touches. Staff was super friendly and ready to help with questions. Location is solid with cool bars and restaurants nearby. Off-street parking is a plus.

    comfort

    I had a delightful experience here. The host was incredibly accommodating, really made me feel at home and even with all amenities kinda rustic but comfy, like the kitchen had everything I needed.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive but still reasonable considering the service and feel.

    cozy cottage
    comfortable bedding
    fire pit area
    lack of breakfast
    difficult parking

    The cottage was surprisingly cozy for a hostel, and I really appreciated the coffee pods and hair dryer in the room. It was a bit of a letdown that there was no breakfast or coffee available as promised, and the parking situation was a hassle due to limited spaces. Still, the comfortable bedding and the nice fire pit made for an enjoyable stay overall.

    cozy cottage
    private bathroom

    The cottage was perfect for two! Cozy setup with a private bathroom and a fridge. Really enjoyed the quiet vibe and proximity to cute shops. Great place to relax after a day exploring.

    Felt free to seek any assistance, nothing to complain about.

    quirky charm
    comfortable beds

    The building had this quirky charm, truly eclectic with tons of character really reminded me of those days when life had a bit more spontaneity. Also, they had amazing body wash and shampoo in the shower, absolute lifesavers after a long drive I gotta say.

    Not the cheapest place I've been, but worth every dime.

    Budget-friendly stay with fun vibes

    Spent 2 nights here and had a solid time! The staff was chill and had cool local tips. The kitchen was super handy for breakfast, but the bathrooms could really use a refresh. Definitely felt the hostel ambiance with notes from past guests everywhere. It’s a great budget spot as long as you can overlook the cleanliness!
