Unless you rented a private room, you have rented one (1) bed for the night in a dormitory style room. There may be up to 4 people in your room.
When you make your reservation, we will charge your credit card and mark it as a confirmed reservation. Your reservation is guaranteed until the day of arrival.
Unless we have had other communications, the reservation will no longer be guaranteed after 10 p.m. of the first day if you have not yet checked in, and the room may be reassigned. You will still be charged the amount of your stay.
To minimize disruption to checked in guests hanging out in the building, reservations close daily at 7 p.m. daily. Book early.
PPH is a short-term boutique accommodation designed to support people who value adventure, affordability and community. Stays are limited to 7 nights per guest. Other arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis; however, stays longer than 7 days will require a private room rental.
