Ashland Commons Hostel

A great spot to stay.

Welcoming, clean, well managed!

Great room, amenities, and staff

Superb

Staff very rude. Too much drama and too many rules. They are too anal.

Staffs are so friendly. Clean property.especially the bathroom!

The facility is clean, linen was excellent, the staff was great. Kyle and China were pleasant, helpful and accommodating for my stay. Location was quiet and exceeded my expectations. I liked all aspects of the stay. Nothing that I would want to be different.

I love the location and ease. Staff will try to spread out guests so sometimes I have a room to myself, which is a bonus. Feng shui has been greatly improved this week. Great library! It's cool that there are a guitar and games provided. Good quality and quantity of shared food pantry and refrigerated items make it easy for travelers. It isn't clear where to keep one's non refrigerated food items. That could be clearer. There was a woman there this past week who has assumed the role of a house mother. She has contributed to an improved interior design, however she talks a lot and doesn't have great boundaries (the values and hazards of hosteling). The couches are not comfortable, which is a shame, as the living room area feels welcoming and inviting.

Friendly staff, cozy and very clean facilities!

Bad

Location. Staff very rude. Too much drama and too many rules. They are too anal.

Nice friendly and helpful staff, beautiful decorations and very equipped shared spaces! Bed was comfortable and other guests where friendly. Weather was cold outside but inside was warm and cozy.

Everything I needed was provided. I was more than happy!!!

I stayed here during a quick trip to visit friends and see an OSF play, and ended up meeting some lovely PCT hikers and having a great stay. I booked a private room that felt very private and was very clean and cozy. I'll definitely keep this in mind for future trips!

I loved every single thing and I hope to come back regularly

A very well run hostel. Very clean. Lots of rules but at least you were made aware of what was expected. Staff were very good and helpful but there was a definite hierarchy so no one seemed to be able to make a decision without consulting someone else. One staff member was living in the same area as me and I simply asked where I should put plastic in the recycle as no bins were labelled for it. I was told if I had questions I needed to phone the boss next time. Certainly a lovely place to stay though and the rate is very reasonable. I do think in general the place is a great place to stay if you need peace and quiet.. there is a no alcohol rule....I do enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner but was happy to comply. It's a little out of the way which shouldn't be a problem for hikers. I came from another hotel so didn't need to go through the showering and laundry process.
