Good place to stay if you are on a budget and need to be downtown. Must bring ear plugs since the building is not sound proof and you can hear street noise even on higher floors. Modestly clean, but not spotless.

The price was very affordable. The rooms were very spacious and the bunks were very sturdy. I did not like how noisy it was outside on Market street, but that is not really something that the hostel has control over. Just be aware that the street won't get quieter until about 1 or 2 AM, and even then its still not "quiet"

I liked the fact that there was a receptionist late at night, and also that the toilet and shower were clean, and water drained well. However, there was no water in the sink faucet in one of the toilets, and the sheets were dirty they caused itching.

The decor is pretty cool, but the staff was not very welcoming or helpful. It did not seem to have the community vibe most hostels do. And personally I was not a huge fan of all the stairs.

Colorful experience, pretty chill

Lucky D's is very colorful, bohemian and chill. Lots of international students coming and going. People seem to respect the rules, like not flushing the wrong stuff down the toilet, and keeping the common rooms pretty cleaned up. The people at the front desk were very nice. Occasional pot smell. One thing, bring earplugs if you plan on sleeping, since the windows in our 4 bed room couldn't be closed, and there is a restaurant downstairs, which plays music until around 2am, so you get that and the street noise, plus the garbage trucks in the morning. Each bed has a fan and light, but neither of mine worked, so people used their iphone lights after lights out. Also, there are small lockers in the rooms, and you bring your own lock. They recommend a nearby CVS. The bunk bed I was on was actually very comfy, and had clean sheets and a clean pillow. I was going to an event at the Convention Center, so each morning, I easily walked down there, having breakfast on the way. Being downtown, there were lots of homeless folks, but they were chill.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, but I really liked the stylish interior. The young staff at the front desk were very helpful and provided detailed explanations. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it comfortable to use. Most of the guests were younger, and the friendly atmosphere, with everyone greeting each other with smiles, was particularly memorable. As I had heard that the hostel was popular as a place for socializing, I felt that it truly lived up to its reputation. On the other hand, some areas showed signs of wear and tear, but considering the very affordable price, I don’t think it’s fair to list that as a drawback.

Ok for a night

It was ok for a night. You hear EVERYTHING so bring earplugs. The doors need changing. One hard pull and you get inside of every singel room. We had a private room with queensize bed. The bed was nice 👌 we had to share wc and shower. Both was super clean all the time so this was great. They have a kitchen, but did not use it. Was ok to stay here for the night but would not recomend staying here for solo female travelers. I saw no other girls around. I was with my mom so did not feel so uncomfortable. The area around was great though!! The guy at the reception was REALLY nice who let us check in about 2hours before since he saw that my mom was really tired. Appreciated it GREATLY!! 💛💛 ps: there is no elevator here so if your staying at the last floor. Be prepared to go up many MANY stairs 😓
