Gram’s Place Bed and Hostel

"When we arrived here we were greeted by a nice older man, he checked us in and gave us our room code and took us to our room. upon seeing the room it was a very small space with a bunk bed, table and single sink , the restroom was located outside(not an issue) later on we realized there was what looked to be mold on the ceiling, we were only staying the night and tried to disregard as we didn’t want to cause any issues. the next morning before we left we took the sheets off the bed to make it easier on the cleaner and found large amounts of black mold on the sheets. this was very shocking and unacceptable. we were in a rush and couldn’t find anyone upon checkout so we left. if you stay here check everything, this is absolutely disgusting. i have attached pictures below."

"I had the pleasure of staying in the Rock and Roll room, which is quite nice and has its own bathroom with shower. It's a comfortable room, and facing the outdoor kitchen and lounge area. Upon check-in, I felt immediately welcomed (thank you, Bruce!), and met some very interesting people during my stay. The location of the hostel is very central, and is walking distance to downtown and other attractions, and is pretty close to the airport. The hostel is very cool, eclectic, and full of interesting stories! And there is a bike in a tree... it'll make sense when you see it. The staff was lovely, and I want to give a personal thank you to Bruce Sr. and Bruce Jr., Sammy, Andrew, Lisa, Demi, Kieran, and Sunny the Cat for making me feel welcomed, and allowing me to have such an enjoyable stay. Awesome place, awesome people, and chill vibes. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, and I look forward to staying again! Hasta la proxima!"

"After two years of backpacking through countless hostels in Australia and the US, I can confidently say this hostel stands out as one of the best I've ever experienced. Nestled in a property bursting with character, it offers a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, a delightful blend of warmth and friendliness, elevate the stay to something truly memorable. Special mention to the owner, Bruce – a genuine gentleman whose commitment to ensuring an exceptional experience goes above and beyond. In a world where not all hostel workers are equally helpful, Bruce is a refreshing exception. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Looking forward to returning for another fantastic stay!"

"It is literally the best hostel I have ever stayed. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. The place offers a lot such as free kitchen stuff. They have a bar and an open patio to sit and chat. It is also super clean and has a nice environment."

"Please understand that my review is based on this being a cute hostel type bed and breakfast (not a Hilton or Ritz Carlton) and the only reasons I couldn't give 5 stars is because there was no soap in my room and the shower never got hot, just warm. We stayed in a private room with a private bathroom, the shower was huge and it appeared the bedroom and bathroom had recently been remodeled. The bed was too soft to our liking, but it wasn't a rock so that made me happy! The place overall is quaint and eccentric. They have a shared kitchen area and supply everything you need to cook your own breakfast. I enjoyed exploring it and had the weather been cooler I would have hung out in the hot tub or any of the outdoor areas (there are quite a few). I will definitely stay again when the weather cools down."
