Cheers, GT Staff

What are the current COVID protocols?

Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or recent negative test is no longer required to check in to our hostel. Masks are not required in the facility. Rather, guests travel at their own risk. Please note that reservations may be cancelled if a guest seems to be sick with COVID-19 symptoms and/or refuses to take a diagnosing test when asked by our staff. We expect everyone to cooperate to keep each other safe. Vaccination is highly recommended before traveling!

Where should I park my car?

We have a special for guests with the West Edge (or Place) Garage on Pike & 2nd Ave to store your vehicle for the duration of your stay (please note the garage has no in-and-out privileges). Bring your stub to the hostel for $5 discounted parking at $21 per 24 hours. Note: the garage is closed between 7pm-7am.

Is our queen bed a private room?

No. Our queen beds are in shared dorm style rooms.

To get a private room, select the "private room" option and reserve ahead of time as these sell out quickly!

All twin beds are single occupancy. Two people are welcome to share a queen bed.
