Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Room smelt worst. Absolutely not safe and very very dirty. I will never ever recommend this place for stay even if it was for free.

    Clean room, with a lot of space. Typical American breakfast. Good choice of free drip coffee throughout the day. Great location, in between downtown and the strip district (which was great on the weekend). Staff was friendly and they had extra water/bananas prepared after the Pittsburgh Marathon for runners.

    This is a Hostel feel place. Very unique and enjoyable. Not all the luxuries of modern hotels but for a change of pace and some "historic feels", very enjoyable! The owners are very personable and enjoyable to talk with and very helpful!

    Very clean, modern unit. Very spacious with good amenities. Kitchen well stocked. Nice lobby and great to be able to access the gym. Very cool coffee shop on the main floor next door. Good location and right beside the subway. Safe, covered parking lot across the street. Excellent value.

    I expected the Econologde to be a cheap motel, but it was quite comfortable and clean. The room was as good as any other hotel, with great AC and comfortable beds. While obviously not in dt pittsburgh, for what it is, its in a great location, especially having a full stocked gas station right next door.

    We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Room was spacious, we went with 3 people and our room had 2 queensize beds, we slept comfortably. Location is great, we went by car so it was easy for us to visit places such as the Duquesne incline and Andy Warhol museum. The staff was very hospitable and made us feel welcomed. Elan is very attentive and friendly, we felt safe. The price we paid for our stay is pretty cheap.

    Great location downtown Pittsburgh! I booked this hotel based on reviews and location to the Paints arena. It was a very short, safe & easy walk to the arena. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast that was included was simple & decent, nice perk for happy hour buffet food & drink. The room was a good size with a very high ceiling about 10-12ft high which makes it feel spacious. The hotel has a clean indoor pool (8th floor) & has an outdoor patio on the same floor which is a really nice feature.
