There’s an elevator to floor one but you can’t use it. You must take these clumbsy stairs with all your support bags. Also no one is ever at the front desk even during posted hours.

The property is really cute and clean and I enjoyed having my own private room with a bathroom and lots of light. This is unique for a hostel! The Beer Barn that is located behind the establishment and under my window was super loud until early in the mornings when it finally closed—on weekdays no less. I discovered earplugs in the lobby and that helped a lot.

A beautiful space, they infused the space with imagination. The Hostel Fish buzzed with energy through the night in a way that spoke to the properties history. I loved the experience.

For me Hostel Fish was perfect because of the price as all i needed was a place to sleep/rest and shower as i wandered the city through out the day and night. Now it could get a loud on the weekends so bring ear plugs if your not there to party. Maybe things they could improve on is a curtain that covers the entire bed so have a little privacy while you sleep. 1 out of 2 showers in the men’s bathroom was working properly. The other shower just had weak water pressure. if you’re a solo girl traveler just be careful mindful of your surroundings when walking outside there are homeless around.
