I booked a night at this hostel through the vipbackpackers.com website 3 days ago. I received a confirmation from the website that my reservation had been done, so everything seemed to be in order. However, when I arrived at the hostel around 7:30 am in the morning, no-one was there and there was just a sign saying "back in 10... More

My friend and I stayed at this hostel for one night in December. The receptionist who gave us our linens and booked out beds was very polite and nice, she made us feel welcome. There is a common area downstairs that looks like a living room. A common dining table with a kitchen. Place looks quite old, I could tell... More

Stayed here for a few nights with my boyfriend whilst travelling the US. Was my least favourite hostel overall. We had a 6 bed dorm to ourselves and there was probably only a few other people staying altogether and so the place was quite eerie. Bathrooms didn't appear to be cleaned in the 3 nights we were there. Had to... More

I was so glad I stayed here as I got to meet some lovely people, especially the staff. The likes of David and Suzie make you feel very welcome. It has not got the facilities as some of your more newer hostels, far from it but if you're looking for a comfortable and enjoyable time then stay here. It is... More

We were supposed to stay here for 1 night and stayed for 4 as we were having such a good time. The owner, suzie. Is lovely. So friendly and helpful and very welcoming (a fellow Brit over the pond!) the hostel was more like a house with a great communal area. Would definitely stay here again!

My roommate and I stayed at this hostel for four nights in March 2012. We look back on those days with a mix of laughter and nostalgia, and have plans to visit again in the future. In the large downstairs living room, we met friends we kept long after we left. The staff was very friendly, particularly Suzie the hostel... More

It was an easy walk to the MARTA. And there was a lovely coffee shop just around the corner. But it was completely gross. Thank god we brought our own sheets. The bathroom had some funky shower set up that would be impossible to clean, so obviously it was filthy. Out of desperation I did take a shower but the... More

Nothing more to say than what I said in the title: I found it very expensive for the quality it has. Almost 30 USD per night in a shared room with minimum 8 people. Internet connection is available only if you pay 5 more USD. Rooms and bathrooms are decadent and extremely dirty. I stayed 2 nights and they did... More

There was also a lot of communal space including a tv, games and a kitchen which made it easy to hang out with other guests in a relaxing situation. I felt the atmosphere of the place was great.

To begin with we had a very bad start. Because of the office hours, which we werent aware of, arriving early in the morning didnt result in a welcome by this hostel, instead we were shouted at and were told to come back later. 3 hours of sleeping on the porch we were allowed to come in only to leave...
