The hostel is located in a really safe Baltimore neighbourhood, I walked at 5 am towards Penn Station and I had no problem. Dormitories are spacious and clean; in room #2 we had the bathroom inside the dormitory, it was really comfortable.

This was my first stay at a hostel. In fact, I didn't really know what the difference between a hostel and a hotel was before staying here. As soon as I went to check out my room, the major difference became apparent: you sleep in a dormitory, not in your own room! Given this communal sleeping situation, I was surprised... More

It was well furnished, the bed was luxurious for the amount we paid (USD $74). The toilet was clean, spacious and well kept. The living room and dining areas... More

There are tons of great places to eat nearby, and many of them offer deals for guests of the hostel. It's also close to the University of Baltimore, so there were lots of people my... More

I stayed 3 nights here and it was a good time. rates were very good and if you don't mind hostel style living- shared bunks, and bathroom, kitchen then this is the place. The hostel is in an old well maintained and pleasing building near Mount Vernon. I really liked the atmosphere and kind staff. There was a concert there... More

I spent 4 nights at the Baltimore youth hostel, and have no complaints.....well.....I got 2 spider bites, and saw a large spider in my room, but that's not likely anything they could prevent and there didn't seem to be an infestations, since I only SAW one (and no webs). The hostel is in a lovely historic building directly across the... More
