When I am up in the Tahoe area alone, this is a great stay. Either, hiking, biking, or skiing, this is the place to stay

Pros: Proximity to the lake , river, and town of Truckee is perfect.

Cons: Itโ€™s not for my wife with bunk beds and shared rooms and the bathroom down the hall.

Nice bunk for a day or two visit in Truckee, great way to come up from San Francisco on the train.

Pros: Great checkin/out automatic number codes, very clean showers, good bunks. Very close to the train station (2 blocks away, just across the tracks!) and all of downtown Truckee, walkable. Staff onsite helpful. Microwave and fridge available were very helpful. If you're on a budget, there's a good gas station convenience store nearby that has all the common microwaveable foods and sandwiches.

Cons: The common lobby was very cold, had to wear a sweatshirt and winter jacket. This is particularly relevant because the rules of the establishment are that you can't eat in your room. The shower heat was very severely cyclic, every 30 seconds or so it would go ice cold and then warm up again - this is because of the instant heater type they have installed. VERY overpriced.

Loved it !

Great!

Pros: The convenience to ski resorts, shops, and restaurants. Self check in and access codes.

Cons: Safety issue - the curtain bar came down on the bunk bed when I grabbed it when exiting the bunk. I would suggest installing handles for guests to grab.

Efficient and clean.

Pros: extra amenities like heaters, blankets, and pillows were readily available. Everything is self serve with no staff, but pre-arrival instructions and printed instructions on site made everything easy. Bathrooms were communal but exceptionally clean. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and definitely clean.

Amazing

Pros: I cannot recommend this hostel highly enough! My teenager and his friends stayed here recently, and as a parent, I was naturally a bit nervous about them traveling on their own. However, the staff was absolutely incredible from start to finish. They were so communicative and helpful before and during the arrival process, making sure the boys felt safe right away. The property itself was exceptionally clean, modern, and had such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Itโ€™s rare to find a place that balances a fun environment with such professional and attentive service. Thank you to the whole team for the help, it gave me such peace of mind

Cons: Na

Sharkey wuz here

Pros: Had a hitch in the get along with Amtrak. It was just the bad luck turned good that gave me a stop here. Now I head into sf in a right frame of mind this morning.

Cons: A bit too cold at first but I adapted and took a good long hot shower.

Great value room in a lovely historic house

Pros: Beautiful old interior, well preserved, historical. The house had everything I needed and was comfortable and quiet.

Cons: A slightly bigger room. A TV but I understand the walls are thin and probably would disturb people.

Pros: Bed was comfortable & thoughtful appointments like white noise meachines.

Cons: Lack of dedicated parking was tough.
