More than a Hostel with Rating of 6 Stars Out of Possible 5

I was sincerely impressed with every aspect of this Hostel. Look, it's a Hostel, so I expected a bed, a roof, and maybe even running water. What I found was a very comfortable bed, clean bedding, spotless bathrooms with steaming hot showers, a clean, modern kitchen area, and an environment designed to not only offer relaxed comfort, but also a wonderful sense of community should you decide to partake of it. This creates an atmosphere of..., well..., balanced happiness, what can I say? FREE COFFEE, too! Need a Cup of Coffee at 7a.m., or 7p.m., or 3:30a.m.? Grab a Cup and pour, it's FREE! (*snickering* True story). There's a Grocery Store within 5 easy minutes walk of the Hostel, and the particular neighborhood is absolutely safe at any time of the day or night. It's a 10 minute casual stroll to get to the Bay. There are Buses at the front door, Trains, Trolleys, Cabs, Tourist Vehicles, Ferries, and Bicycle Tours within a 20 minute casual stroll. The Staff? They're kinda like good friends you've known for years though you've just met. That about sums up the pleasant, helpful, informative, competent, friendly Staff. Now then, ladies and gentlemen, I've heard complaints about the stairs at the entrance. The complaints are unfair. In my opinion, every one of us needs to get up off of our lazy asses and up those stairs with a great big smile on our faces! Our misshapen, greasy, Fast Food Society could use a few stairs. Hahaha! Luggage? You'll be offered all assistance. If you bring your own Living Room suite, they'll help you pack it up the stairs, man. C'mon, let's not be wimps, o.k.? I am a 45 year old Cigarette Smoker, and I leaped up and down those stairs 5 and 6 times a day just to smoke a Cigarette, so I disagree with complaints about the stairs, especially from healthy people on Vacation, y'know? It's a non-issue. The rewarding stay at the top is 100% worth the minor effort the stairs require. Yes, I highly recommend this Hostel to anyone and everybody, and as for rating it with Stars..., I give it a rating of 6 Stars out of a possible 5... :)
