It was my first time staying at a hostel and it was pretty good. I think that the aesthetic was really cool and you can't beat the price. I was able to check out the Allentown art festival and the falls from this place. I think there are some caveats if you do stay though- 1. the parking situation is street parking, so you'll have to move your car by 8 am, I ended up moving my car by 10 am on both days I parked by loading money to the meter through the buffalo roam app- it was pretty handy! 2. There are not much in terms of toiletry beyond the bare basics, so I guess get more stuff for showers/hygiene than less (this might be a hostel thing in general though, so I guess advice overall?) 3. The breakfast is just oatmeal, it's not continental or anything- but they sometimes have some things out to share! Also, they have alot of utensils for cooking, so if you want to prep your own food- it's pretty easy to do. But anyways, this hostel stay was pretty affordable and not too bad. It gave me more finances to really travel to the falls and spend some money that I wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. Also, the area is pretty cool to check out- they have a waffle place/ art shop/ book store 2 blocks down (Liege waffles? I think) that's pretty worthwhile to give a visit and there seemed to be alot of activites in general for the neighborhood i.e. restaurants, theaters etc. Also, they feature local artists in their galleries and sometimes have some get togethers to talk about art! All in all, definitely a cool place to check out. I wish I had more energy to enjoy it on both days, but it was pretty cool for what I experienced.

Great staffs, kitchen and dining areas pretty big. Bathroom is so clean! The AC was loud in my room, I requested to turn it off , and had a good night sleep since then. Thank you, Hostel Buffalo.

Pretty good value for the money. One issue is that there is only toilet and shower stall on one floor, so at full capacity, about 30 people are fighting for one stall. Also, if someone is using the shower, it becomes inconvenient/invasive to use the toilet. The beds are also a bit uncomfortable. I don’t expect $1000 mattresses, but the upper bunk is so low, you can’t sit up when you’re on the lower bunk. There parking instructions, but still receive the parking ticket. As a local business, they should make sure to give the correct information depending on what time of the year the guests are staying, as local laws change. *edited to add, JP was a fantastic host and even came to find me to personally apologize. I have changed my rating to reflect the great customer care received.

I loved staying here. It is such a unique accommodation that staying here was an experience in and of itself which added to the charm of Buffalo. It fits snuggly in the middle theatre district and is within a short walking distance to many bars and restaurants. I loved that it was so affordable because it allowed me to use most of my budget on food and beverage. Being able to give more money to the local businesses and tip local employees more instead paying for the overpriced hotels in Buffalo was something I was happy about. The staff at this hostel is extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. JP, at the front desk, knew so much about Buffalo history and all the construction happening in the area. There’s a lot happening in Buffalo. I left feeling excited to come back to with some friends and having another great time. I would highly recommend staying at the hostel for a unique and enriching experience if you’re going to Buffalo.

The City Mission. They are extremely strict. Not the best visitprs but you're off the streets and they have wonderful services. Its coed, to my understanding.

Bring a lock. They have small and medium sized lockers for valuables. Other stuff can be left in the room. It's a really cool place. You'll like it.

Is there public parking nearby?

I didnt struggle to find free parking about 10 mins walk away in a residential area to the west (near a restraunt called Betty's, which is also good). There are lots of parking lots but while they look completely empty, they may be fully reserved.. the metered spots right out the back of the hostel are free from the evenings until 8am the next day. Hope you enjoy Buffalo!
