Bunk+Brew Historic Lucas House - Hostel

Everyone very was very friendly, the house is super cool, and the location is great! The sheets were that jersey material or synthetic material that's just hard to tell if they feel clear. I'm sure they were, but always nice to feel in a strange bed the clean feeling of cotton.

Excellent location and value for price. Sauna was amazing, food trucks were on point, and staff were so friendly and fun. Will definitely be coming back.

Good

The location truly couldn’t be beat! Probably the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Also it was super hot, if there was AC it wasn’t doing anything. Felt very crowded and not the cleanest.

Staff were friendly, the concept is good and I imagine it worked well when it was freshly renovated. The place has huge potential It's filthy, it needed a spring clean three springs ago. The floors in the room had sticky stuff on them, lots of dust on the surfaces and under the beds. I understand that when you cook you need to clean up after yourself but the kitchens were filthy to begin with. Grease on the walls and ceiling. Shower in the Annex hasn't been cleaned recently and the toilet wasn't cleaned once while I was there. There's a cleaning roster on the door that hasn't been recently filled out with just joke comments on it. Hand basin needs bleach and Scotch Brite. The people staying were friendly but it has the feeling of a halfway home rather than a hostel inviting visitors to the city. The cleanliness issues just require elbow grease, not difficult to improve, but clearly management isn't aware or doesn't see it as an issue. Will continue to decline

Exceptional

The people. The atmosphere. The food trucks. My room was crowded. No AC. Didn't have a goods sleep..

Superb

Exceptional

Lots of space and variety of facilities. Location waa great. Sauna and extra showers were great. Smoking areas should be designated. I would sit down somewhere and start to relax, just to have someone sit nearby and start smoking, so I would have to move. Also, there should be better management of the refrigerators, they were crowded and too difficult to find even a small space to put my food.

The people were really nice Outside the building not manicured and not enough parking.

Pros Washroom in my building was ok Ample parking space in and around property Food trucks on premises. Cons Whole property felt mismanaged My room was hot as an oven. I could not sleep at all at night because of the heat and no ventilation. It was even difficult to sit there. When I asked the front desk , they said they will look into this but nothing was done. There is an odd smell in the building which might be lack of deep cleaning and old carpets. Also it seems that some people live there permanently and use the rooms and bathrooms as their personal closets. Won’t stay again.

Fabulous location just a few blocks from the main entertainment district. Very nice staff. Great beer garden, beer/cider truck, food trucks, hammocks, bikes, tv room with at least 10 guitars for guests to use, sun room, sauna with great showers. Terrific!

No railing on stars, gaps in door frames, bunk beds not put together correctly, and waking up covered in bug bites on a box spring mattress.

Thank you comfortable safe friendly place I did like the karaoke and it didn’t bother me that it was till 11 PM but the loud talking a few hours afterwards was a little annoying

The building is obviously old, but it's been kept up on pretty well. It has a great vibe, and is very nicely set up for just hanging out with friends or getting to know others. Wish I was able to stay for a few more days- maybe next time.

Careful. If you book on Expedia and check in late, they won't be able to reach you as Expedia provides no personal contact info, so you'll want to call in advance. The shared rooms created a tricky dynamic where some people were hot, and needed the fan on, while others didn't like the sound of the fan and would turn it off. Also, people coming in and out at all hours can make for a disruptive night of sleep. Works if you're in your early 20s and looking to stay on the cheap. Good location and food truck vibe. Showers are clean. Bring your own towel. Theirs are worn.

Great location, great energy of conviviality The room was too hot at night
