The staff was extremely helpful all around. I had an overnight layover with no service and they ordered my cab to the airport for me. As a heads up, a cab ride to this hostel is rightly $30-40 usd and it is extremely cold both outside and inside the hostel. I’m glad I brought an extra blanket because frankly it felt almost as cold as outside and the blanket provided slides off of your body at night. The rooms are small and there isn’t much room for you to actually place your bag down and gather your things, if you are staying in a 4 bed room like I did, without being in the walkway. They had a pleasant array of breakfast items in the morning. Unfortunately I was allergic to a great bit of what was offered so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I would’ve hoped.

Washroom is shared, my problem, I did not check carefully, they said that. Breakfast is not too much, but for the price I paid, it’s normal, I believe.

On our trip the was my biggest concern, staying in a hostel with an 84 year old women. Boy was I wrong this place was excellent, clean, awesome breakfast and close to airport. We stayed in a five single bed room with private bathroom. Shower is a little high step to get into but other than that the people were great and helpful and delicious breakfast starting at 4am for our early flight. Situated on an old US Air Force station I questioned it when driving in but will not make that mistake again

honestly, this was my first time staying in a hostel, so I don't have the proper context to compare hostel to hostel, but comparing to a hotel, Start hostel was clean, quiet, I felt safe, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, simply decorated with just what you need. Beds were comfy. Though the bathroom maybe seemed a little dated, everything was clean and in working order. The room had plenty of outlets/ plugs and even had USB ports, so we could easily plug in our cell phones for charging without a converter. The breakfasts was an elevated continental offering with hot and cold cereals, a variety of baked goods, a large assortment of fresh fruit, breakfast meat (cold not hot, so no bacon or sausage) and hard boiled eggs, plus Coffee, tea, etc. We stayed one night, so that we were close to the airport for our flight the next morning. It was perfect because we also had a reservation for the Blue Lagoon the night before, and Start hostel was a quick drive over and back. WE had a family suite which had lots of space including 2 bedrooms. I would definitely stay here again for convenience to the airport!
