So now that I'm a starving graduate I have to save money at any opportunity; and when faced with a necessary trip to Baltimore, I was lucky enough to find this hostel. For about $25 a night, you get a clean, comfortable, bug-free stay that feels more like a big home than a hotel. The halls were quiet at night... More

If you are looking for a clean place to stay at in Downtown Baltimore and you do not mind sharing your room with others then this is the place to be. The hostel is very clean, quiet and for a pretty good price. There is free WiFi along with a clean bed and sheets and hot water showers. The location... More

This was the first hostel I have ever stayed in and it was awesome! Staff were friendly and the location was great for food, supplies and sights! Super easy to get to from the airport via light rail. I would def stay here again. :-D

I have visited many hostels in the U.S. and elsewhere and typically (these days) get a private room- for savings and a nice place to stay with a special, international community atmosphere. Despite the friendly staff, I reluctantly have to say this has been one of my least favorite hostels. The biggest issue was cold showers. The water got tepid... More

I stayed here when I came in for the Yankees/Orioles game. It's a beautiful building in downtown, across the street from the Basilica (which is beautiful on the outside, but was closed for renovations). Within walking distance to Lexington Marketplace and Camden Yards, but I wouldn't do that walk in the dark. You share a room with 12 other people,... More

Neighborhood is totally sketchy so stay inside. The natives are always jaywalking in the darkness from the liquor stores expecting drivers to stop. Good luck for half the people are DUI with stolen cars yacking on their cells phones. Especially during the Raven's tailgates for evening games. The kitchen is huge and modern and I like to hanging around the... More

It's a quite nice hostel. It is located in a old building so it's not very fancy but it's clean and you don't have to worry about unpleasant guest like bed bugs during the sleep. The staff seems to be nice and helpful and the price is great too. Only bad thing is the free breakfast, some awful pancakes. Just... More

We've stayed at the HI hostel for about six nights with a 10mth old infant and it was a really nice experience. We stayed in room 5, next to the kitchen. We booked a private room, but instead we've got a private bunk-room: 2 bunkbeds and a big shower. That was great. They changed the towels and emptied the garbage... More

The staff at this hostel were very good and helpful. The hostel itself is located downtown right next door to the first cathedral built in the United States. The main common area is super spacious and very nice. The kitchen was also nice and clean. For me however I just could not stomach the room. I believe I stayed in... More
