This place is very rustic but clean vintage very vintage!! Vinyl records and VHS tapes to boot!! The bed was very comfortable. Everyone was friendly. my friend and I ,two females traveling alone felt safe during our stay here!! They are located right across the street from a general store. There is a bar directly below where you can get great food! Gas right across the street as well. Very remote location but access to the things that you need close by 👍 next time I go to Bancroft I will definitely stay here again. It was a blast from the past and a great time!!

The shower is a little creepy!! But it works and it does the job.👍

Literally enjoyed everything about staying at the Purple Palace! Checkin was smooth, price is very reasonable and facilities are adequate. It was quiet for a Friday but the pub next door was steady. My daughter's first experience in a hostel and I got to introduce her to pool in the pub and records in the lounge. Plus, it's very purple, which is obviously the best colour ever.

There are no hostels with personality like this one left. Some might say it's outdated, but I think it's simply well aged. Good facilities, wonderful staff, and the pub's atmosphere and food are highly recommended, especially on Saturday nights when local people invite you to play pool. Do not change. I hope to return soon

We loved the employees. They were so friendly and made us feel right at home. We had a wedding up that way and just wanted somewhere affordable to stay for the night instead of driving for another 5 hours. We knew it was a hostel and that we had a private room. The shared bathroom was not an issue. In fact we didn't really run into any other guests during our stay. It was all very basic accommodation which is what we expected, but it had a lot of character. It felt like we were staying at someone's house. We also really loved the patios and pub. We enjoyed a few beers and a very tasty pizza.

It’s a very cute place, the staff is super nice and the rooms have a unique old Americana feel to them, there’s a kitchen, lounge room with plenty of movies and records to play. The bar is also amazing and overall one of the most memorable night of our trip

It is a bit dated, gets really hot during summer of course and the showers weren’t the best. But that is to be expected!

The place was charming and beautiful, there were common areas with sofas and books, and a good restaurant attached. The rooms were nice and big. Everything was clean, and the staff were super nice. Would recommend 100%

The top floor showers were somewhat old, so they were a bit dark and took some time for hot water to flow.

It was even better than I expected! Very clean and comfortable stay with a lot of character. Cozy with all of the amenities you need and the staff are so friendly and so gracious. You will definitely have no worries staying here!

Nothing!

Good value for money, kind and helpful staff.

The building is a bit old, dirty and dusty. It seems like a minimal investment in upkeep and cleaning (like wiping the dust every once in a while) would greatly improve the accommodation. The whole upper floor gets extremely hot. There was a fan in our room, but no AC. Also, the showers in the upper floor were not working, so there was only a single shower available in the whole building.

Best owner, we were watching tv in the shared living room, and the owner came there with a new TV so we helped to set it up and it was super funny. Cool place, and coolest owner.

Very nice vintage property, everything was comfortable, easy and well kept. The gentleman working there was kind and attentive. Place is silent in the night and the Wi-Fi work great. Definitely recommended.
