I haven't stayed in very many hostels, but this was by far my best hostel experience. The place is really clean and the rooms are very spacious. I loved the fact that the dorms have a private bathroom and not a communal bathroom, which gives you some privacy. The beds are really comfortable, and the place is safe and very well located. There are also private rooms, which I saw and looked nice and spacious. The living room is nice and chilled out with a TV, and good Wifi and kitchen. Niagara is a really small town, and you can easily walk to most places including the falls. Just wish, breakfast was included, but there are some nice breakfast options around the town.
The best thing about the hostel is the owner, Jeff is absolutely a wonderful host. He is from Niagara, and can give you advice on other interesting things that you can do, which aren't the regular 'touristy' things. He informed me about the trails along the river Niagara and that was one of my most favourite part of the trip. Just one thing, Jeff likes to believe that from the hostel terrace you get the best view of the fireworks, not quite true! :) But then again, I also don't know where once can or should go to watch the fireworks on the American side of the falls, If I had to go back, I would definitely stay here.

Thank you for the kind review. Admittedly I am biased about our view of the fireworks but you're right there are many places to view them from which are spectacular; we are hard to match though. We've done a lot of work since you left and soon we'll have completed remodeling and updating all of the bathrooms so that we will be even better this upcoming season.

The owner was lovely, very friendly and had arrived late to meet us, so he brought us donuts, and needless to say, we forgave him quickly :) His daughter was lovely too. The location to the falls is easy, 10 minutes maximum walking distance. The town wasn't really open because it was Winter so walking over to the Canada side and seeing the lights at night is a must-this is also easy walking distance. Big room, private bathroom, no breakfast for $70. Great deal, we loved our stay.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. While the water falls can be quite beautiful surrounded by snow, the many attractions available during the warmer months are closed making Niagara Falls, NY a rather peaceful and quit town. In the coming years there will be several things opening for winter such as an indoor water park but for now it's is just natural serenity. I do apologize for my lateness that day I hope you enjoy all your travels and your journey through life. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

this is an excellent hostel within easy walking distance to the falls. Prices are reasonable, the private room we rented sleeps four with ensuite and the kitchen is well equipped to cook a three course meal.The proprietor ineffective made us welcome and nothing was a trouble to him. In four weeks in the US this was the best hostel we found.

There's something special about Australian guests!!!! It was lovely to have you guys, I'm glad it was more than a day and a special (birth)day to boot. May you celebrate many more and may they each be somewhere glorious. Thank you for the review, I would have REALLY missed you today if not for the wondrous smells of cooking by the young couple from Switzerland, I think they did do a 3 course meal today. Don't worry, Gorge View is really new and the Town will come to know us in due time. But thanks for helping that along ;)

Gorge View is a very nice and clean hostel with affordable price! The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is close to the falls and good restaurants. My friend and I had a great time while staying there.

Thank you it was a pleasure having you stay and we're glad you enjoyed our Natural Wonder. It is always rewarding to have happy guests who enjoy our privileged location. We'll be even better next year I promise so if you get a chance stop back and inspect us or send a friend. I noted where you gave us less than perfect and that's fair, we'll definitely improve the rooms between before the start of the 2015 season.

This hostel is in a perfect location - within walking distance of all the local attractions, and on a very quiet and lovely street. Jeff is an engaging and helpful host - take heed of his dining recommendations - you will be very pleased! Bathrooms and kitchen spotless, and linens crisp and fresh. Great accommodation

Wow, I get teary eyed whenever a guest is so happy. Thanks for the praise it fuels our motivation to improve everyday. It was quite kind of you to take the time and provide us such positive reinforcement but.... it looks like it will be a challenge now to live up to your review everyday but we will try. Thanks again, I'm quite humbled actually.
