Great location and cleanliness standards

I enjoyed the great location of the hostel, with the supermarket nearby and just a short stroll to the lake and town. the cleanliness standards were impressive, with super clean rooms and a spacious communal kitchen and lounge area. the lack of amenities in the rooms, such as storage, table, or TV, could be improved.

Great kitchen with hot chocolate, spacious TV room, comfy beds, helpful staff, near supermarket.

Felt safe walking at night, no complaints.

The common areas at Brownston are well-maintained, clean, and spacious. the kitchen is fully equipped, with a great system for labeling food. Comfortable bed, easy check-in/out, and convenient location within walking distance to everything you need.

No curtains on dorm beds.

staying at brownston was a delightful surprise. the room was spotless, with a private bathroom and comfy linens. communal kitchen and lounge were clean and welcoming. ideal location near supermarket, lake, and town. plenty of friendly guests of all ages. convenient keyless after-hours entry. a true gem in every way.

Almost perfect - just a tiny 🌟 missing for perfection.

Brownston in a wonderful hostel in a perfect location, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a spacious communal kitchen. the view outside is lovely, and the atmosphere is welcoming with a mix of guests. Supermarket nearby and great coffee options.

Hard beds, pricey. No breakfast, parking challenge.

The family-friendly atmosphere and spacious rooms were perfect for our large crew. the play area kept the kids entertained for hours, allowing us parents to relax and socialize with other families.

My wife says that having more kid-friendly activities in the common areas would enhance the family experience.

The hostel was a surprise gem - super clean room with a private bathroom and linen provided. the communal kitchen and lounge were great for chilling with fellow travellers. the only downside was the doors closing loudly all night, but overall a fab budget-friendly stay with a homely vibe. 👍
