Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Friendly staff! The facility has clean common areas and washrooms, since they’re cleaned everyday. Kitchen is great. It’s too bad the hostel is mostly closed during the cleaning hours (no room and kitchen access) but then again you don’t come to Glencoe to stay inside :) They should fix the faucets and hand dryers in the washrooms since they don’t all work properly. Its nice that they have coffee and tea available all day. I’d recommend jt and would stay here again

Missed first due to flight, paid for hotel for third night, very uncomfotable beds, very hot windows barely open. Not that clean, expected rustic but not this bad. Lost a lot of money due to conditions.

Deanna

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed 4 nights in a private room. Overall, the hostel is spacious, clean, comfortable, and friendly. However, we did find the room really hot without much airflow. My only other complaint is that two nights we experienced issues with drunk adults. One of the adults was working the desk a few days later, which is not appropriate. These disturbances were not handled by the staff, which was unfortunate, as it disturbed the evening for all guests.
