Good location, walk to down town nightlife. Might be a longish walk if you're packing from the train station, but doable. Parking is a little tight but available. Beautiful comfortable old building with creaky floors and lots to explore. I stayed in the large dorm as I always do, bathroom facilities hadn't been upgraded to multi-user versions, so some folks might find that dicey. Extremely good kitchen! I could comfortably stay here for a long stay or while house-hunting if I was going to resettle in Albuquerque. Mattresses had those heavy rubber covers which have become more and more common in US hostels, oh well.

This hostel has no air conditioning in the dorms, wi-fi is filtered, staff is very rude. The dorms are very hot and the fitted sheets constantly slide off of the plastic mattress covers.

Stayed here Sat Dec 3rd - Sun Dec 4th.
Amazing place. When I arrived in Albuquerque I happened to stumble upon the town having their Christmas Parade right on the same street the hostel was located. All the guests were happily hanging out on the porch, drinking and having a gay old time.
The girl who checked me in was really nice but seemed a little pre-occupied and sort of rushed the check in because she wanted to get back to drinking with her friends, but that didn't bother me.

The girls dorm was huge with 4 bunk beds and even a couch in the room.
The place was really roomy and i felt at home lounging around.
Very clean place.

Only tiff i have about this place is the parking!! Only parking available was 2 spots behind the hostel in an alley. The girl in charge told me NOT to park on the street or my car would defiantly be broken into. So i managed to squeeze it into one of the spots in the alley.

Other than that I would most certainly stay here again, I loved it.

No AC in the room in august, room clean, bathroom clean but soooo old. Service nice, but slow.

It's not the best motel, but it's ok for one night because it's really cheap.
