Great spot. Check in went smoothly, took a little tour, which was helpful. There were people relaxing outside the hostel and in the main lobby area as well. It was really noisy for a few minutes, but the manager quickly quieted things down. I would definitely stay here again.

Everyone at the hostel, employees and other hostel goers alike, were so friendly and welcoming! We really enjoyed participating in the group activities the hostel offered. Great accommodations too - comfy bed, clean bathrooms, fun lobby to hang out. And i would be remiss not to mention the awesome make-your-own pancake breakfast. We would 100% stay at ITH again!

Towels to dry your hands in the bathroom would be nice and the staff was drying laundry right outside my room door at 5am it made it hard to sleep.

Had to listen to drunk 38 year olds talk about how all American women are awful and the only good ones are in SE Asia or E Europe - and when I walked away back to my bunk, was confronted by one of them and I said I didn’t like how he was speaking about women it made him sound gross so he hit me in the face while I was literally sitting on my own bunk bed. Staff allowed him to stay. I left for my own safety. No manager contacted me at all. They don’t seem concerned at all,
