Phoenix Hostel

"I’d give it 4.5 stars. It’s in a safe location (that one crossroad before entering Roosevelt Row was a little sketchy at times but not the hostel’s fault.) Room and house decorations were very pretty. I wish I spent more time in the garden; it was so nice just sitting there and listening to birds chirping. Loved that they had free oatmeal in the kitchen! As someone who couldn’t eat gluten or eggs I really appreciated having that as an option. The house was a little old and you could hear people talking/moving heavy stuff in neighboring rooms at times but that was pretty much expected at a hostel."

"This place is great! I booked the sky room and it's very spacious, comes with a fridge, microwave, kettle etc. The TV also has a Chromecast if you want to laze about during the day and binge watch from your favorite app. The location is excellent, a short walk to supermarkets, the art museum, the library and the excellent coffee shops and restaurants in hipster Roosevelt street. Breakfast is included and it's very well kept, eat too meet others if you wish. It's more like a homestay. Highly recommended, I'm glad we stayed here."

"It was a good first experience staying at a hostel. But for the convenience and privacy that I usually like to have when traveling, maybe not my cup of tea. It was pretty clean and nice but I didn't enjoy having to share a shower since it was a little inconvenient. The location is great though and if you're into hostels then this would be a good place to stay."

"Loved my stays here in the salado room! Close proximity to restaurants and shops. Tucked away in a quiet area. Great communication from the host. The shared shower is just a regular house shower, make sure you have your own soap/shampoo. Can't wait to return for another stay!"

"Very nice basic clean and comfortable accommodations in a very friendly environment at a reasonable price. The location is very close to midtown and downtown in an up and coming neighborhood. We especially appreciated that eggs, toast, coffee and tea were all available for guest preparation in the common kitchen. The staff was always available to help and answer questions. 5 Stars for the value."
