Friendly and Affordable Hostel
Excellent and low cost hostel for travelers in the Asheville area. Friendly and professional staff. The hostel provide access to comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, and a shared kitchen. Location is not far from downtown and course to hiking trails.

Loved the vibe of the place. It has character. Beds are comfy. Showers are nice and hot. Temperature of the rooms are solid. I think the general cleanliness of the place could be better. Most of all though I felt safe staying here for a few days. The parking is fine but there are only like 5 spots. Definitely will be back 🍻

Location is nice with many cafes surrounding.
Don’t bother coming here if you value your sleep. Quiet time after 10pm doesn’t exist and not enforced. One night guests on the outside deck directly below us were drinking and loud after 1am. After telling them to quiet down they continued for another 30+ minutes. Next night I messaged property to address noise as guests inside downstairs shared space were playing music loudly and having a house party until almost midnight. Never received a response or acknowledgement from the hostel.
