“ This place is super rad. The upstairs of the building has the hostel while the downstairs has a really cool bar. Both were clean and the staff, especially at the bar -Susie and Fabian- were on point. I will visit again when back in the area. ”

“ The atmosphere was great, I loved the set up of the hostel, great kitchen facilities. Really awesome set up to meet other travellers! There is a pub downstairs which seems to feature a band almost every night, I didn't have a problem sleeping through it but if you're an easily roused sleeper I don't see why you'd opt for dorm room living anyway. Staff were fantastic and the breakfast was AMAZING. One of the better hostels I've ever stayed at! ”

“ The hostel was great, right next to a subway stop. The neighborhood was great and the staff really friendly. They had great waffles in the morning. Everyone was friendly and I felt safe while there. The bedrooms were a bit crowded but there was a common room and kitchen in the hostel, and a cafe and bar to hang out in downstairs. I wish the bunk beds had some sort of railing on top bunk. The staff was great at changing my reservation at the last minute for no charge. ”

“ The staff was very helpful and friendly. Everything is clean and the breakfast is amazing. The rooms are small and mine didn't have a window so it was very hot during the night. ”

“ The Only is located directly above the "Only coffeeshop" and "Only bar" (can't remember the exact name). We especially enjoyed the breakfast-waffels which you will be served in the bar - cool! Friendly ppl here, a back patio for the evening (or sunny days), very friendly bathrooms, a free hostel netbook and free wifi. Our 6-bed dorm was pretty small and there was only a skylight which was not to be opened so we had to use the air conditioner during night but that's just a minor drawback. ”

“ The hostel is on the second floor of The only Cafe. There's a bar and cafe in 1st floor. The space and rooms there are quite small. The staffs are very helpful. Breakfast is awsome. You can enjoy fresh homemade waffle with cream and fruit or muffin and cookies for take out. The bar is very unique with fantasy atmosphere. However, You can hear music until midnight. ”

“ Pros: Many common rooms so there are plenty of places to meet new people. Awesome cooking facilities. Cleaned often. Well thought out rooms (there are no slam doors on all the rooms). Super friendly and helpful staff. They have a fresh-juice maker. Amazing pillows. Bar downstairs. The most amazing breakfast you will ever have at a hostel (ever). Cons: It is just a great place you will have to book some time in advance as they get booked out... often... Just do it. ”
