    It was very, very clean. And I slept well.

    7BrucePosted on: 2-23-2026

    Location was excellent. Breakfast consisted of fresh blueberry pancakes with coffee/tea.

    Breakfast did not start until 8:30am, so my 8am meeting made me miss the breakfast entirely.

    Location and access to the building with some amenities.

    There was a black woman acting shady.Pretending she couldn't carry her luggage and trying to get men to pay her housing costs.Some staff let scammers inside the hostel to prey on unsuspecting individuals.

    7JosephinePosted on: 2-18-2026

    Its 15 mins walk to Metro center, there is a supernarket available on your right. Fully equipped kitchen, tasty pancake for breakfast

    The bed is too low , i could not sit on the bed, no place to read , its only in the kitchen.No shampoo in the bathroom

    6EzellPosted on: 1-28-2026

    Coffee and pancakes in the morning were fantastic. Most staff were friendly. Common areas are comfortable.

    No shoes are allowed - the whole place smells terrible. No privacy curtains in dormitory, wifi was not that good.

    10LegacyKiwiPosted on: 1-26-2026

    It was very clean and gave us plenty of space and individualized privacy.

    The location was a bit odd with the entrance being easily missed or parking covered in snow.

    10JamesPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Staff were all pleasant, helpful, kind and welcoming

    8KevinPosted on: 1-20-2026

    ????

    Waiting inside until your bed is ready. They made me wait outside in the cold lobby!!! ??? not nice at all. Most hostels have a waiting area inside until your bed is ready.. it was cold outside in the lobby show area!!!

    8BryantPosted on: 1-19-2026

    I loved the deck area just outside of the kitchen (please put umbrellas up as a protection against the sun). The main seating area is nice and welcoming.

    The shoes in the vestibule that seem to be discarded from past visitors need to go. It creates a bad smell that can easily be avoided. Also, taking your shoes off before entering the living space is a very good idea if one has house shoes (shower shoes, slides or flip flops). It would be nice if Duo had inexpensive flip flops to sell at check-in. That would be much better than walking around bear footed. I’d happily buy a pair.

    9JenniferPosted on: 1-19-2026

    The place was very clean and organized; you have to take your shoes off at the front door so bring socks or extra new flip flops. I liked that they always had someone at the front desk and that the front doors were locked with a passcode. They also had parking out front which was great.

    The location, the friendliness of the French staff

    We were woken up at midnight and 5 a.m. by staff because apparently we weren't supposed to be in the accommodation (they couldn't find us in the computer system) and they entered the room without knocking.

    10MaksimPosted on: 1-17-2026

    Clean, convenient location and excellent breakfast.

    7BrownPosted on: 1-15-2026

    Nice clean environment.

    Other customers snore loud and mixing women in same dorm as men ?

    10JamesPosted on: 1-10-2026

    The staff, the setting, the location was central to everything. Very please with my stay

    8BenPosted on: 1-8-2026

    The location was wonderfully close to the conference center, and the value per price was exceptional for a young'un like myself: clean space, quiet bedrooms, with a full kitchen, and interesting folks to talk to if you so desired.

    Make sure to bring your own lock for the lockers! Also, if you have back problems, the chairs in the kitchen and living spaces might give you trouble: they were all those tall chairs with little to no back support.

    9TitusPosted on: 1-7-2026

    Very Chill, eclectic, spacious, and has 2 buildings, with secured entrance! You have a computer room, multiple lounge areas, outside decks, on multiple levels! The coolest is..., sun gazing on the hammock! Grocery store 3 ft, liquor store 3 ft restaurant 2 feet! Public transportation runs almost every 8 minutes! Very economical, hospitable lodging. Check it out!

    The most pleasant hostel I had been in my whole trip. I just couldn’t believe how much energy the staff did put into making our stay pleasant —and all of that for a very affordable price! The morning free pancakes are just the top of the iceberg. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the staff looks after it regularly. Also very comfy to have an hostel where you have to leave your shoes at the entrance.
