City House Atlantic City

My boyfriend and I were supposed to stay for 3 nights here at this hostel, but we only stayed for only 1 night due to issues and concerns, which I will explain in my review down below. ||||The host at the Atlantic City Hostel was really friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and concerns in a professional manner. The location was kind of in a sketchy area, but it was manageable and a plus because the hostel is nearby by everything! The casinos, boardwalk, beach, restaurants, and you name it! I wouldn't recommend this place if you are staying for a romantic get-away because you will most likely not have your own privacy and also you will be asked to stay with another person/other people in your room, if you want your own privacy I prefer booking an actual hotel room.

I traveled solo by car. If you need to park there is a lot basically across the street towards the beach. He charged me $10/day. Not bad at all. Do not park at Dunkin'. At the hostel door I rang the doorbell and was greeted by a very friendly hostess that clearly cares about the place a lot. She spends time putting her artistic touch on the decor and caring for the upkeep. I luckily had a room to myself for my two day stay over the weekend. Plenty of privacy. There are 2.5 bathrooms. Never had a problem getting one. For the price it is absolutely worth it.

This place is really dodgy the manager guy has the worst attitude I've ever seen of someone in this industry. Later in the day he seems to warm up though. The location is in a very bad area (ladies don't turn right out of the hostel at night) but it's only 2 blocks from the boardwalk, I suggest walking through the casinos it's well lit. The place is filthy shower is full of grime and barely a trickle the sink has a big danger sign over it. The only positive is that The beds are comfy enough and room has air con. Parking is $10 a night across the street he's a nice guy you can talk him into letting you stay longer for the $10

The Hostel is nice but nothing compared to the wonderful Manager Susan who is the sweetest host I've ever had. I stayed here with a friend who had never stayed in a hostel because Atlantic City was so ridiculously expensive during Memorial Weekend and we had no choice but to bunk in a hostel. Susan went above n beyond to make us feel welcome and safe. My friend now wants to return and the next time actually is choosing to stay at a hostel thanks to Susan's hospitality.

BACK IN THE DAY MOST HOSTELS WERE IN CONVERTED APARTMENTS…..||||….and ranged from awful to awesome (with the majority falling short of what we would class as AVERAGE these days (today the AVERAGE hostel is pretty darn good – spacious, clean, comfortable, well run – it takes some special qualities to rate ABOVE AVERAGE). The thing about A.C.H. is it falls on the awesome side of the old standard with several pluses raising it above today’s AVERAGE standard. Notably:||- great location, withing 5 minutes of the famous BOARDWALK/BEACH**, several key CASINOS**, the BUS STATION and a range of shops and eats joints. Oh yeah, and a largish hospital if anything should go wrong. There is a small upstairs balcony overlooking the surrounding streets – a great place to survey the scene and interact with
