This place is legit. I stayed in the private room. Clean, contempo, and nicely appointed. Good location, walkable to food carts, the baseball stadium, and other downtown attractions. Only complaint is the 10 AM checkout time. Should be 11...

Cleaner than a hotel or airbnb. Better amenities than a hotel or airbnb. And despite me making a huge mistake in thinking they took children, they made a last minute exception. Additionally the other guests were so friendly. Please stay here, unless you have children to bring.

I definitely intend to go back and next time I’ll get more photos of the location.It’s beautiful and peaceful. There’s a conference like table in one little alcove, a couch by the fire, two chairs together, a couple chairs around in various places. It has a very comfortable at home vibe. They have gluten free items and a wide selection of drinks.The website and Google review page was slightly confusing but I was able to call and get the hours and confirmation that the coffee shop was its own able to the public business. I think it would be very helpful for Modal to set up a second Google page for just the coffee shop with info and their hours.There is plenty of parking behind the building and five minute parking up front.

I stopped in at Modal for a quick overnight business trip to Greenville & was impressed! The hostel makes great use of space, with ample open common spaces, lots of indoor & outdoor seating options, a well-stocked open kitchen, and thoughtfully-designed dorms. The team members I met were warm, and it was great to see Modal's mission of service elevated in the featured artwork, partnerships with local companies to source things like coffee & gifts, and general vibe of welcoming. I'd happily book here again for future travel (or even just a coffee - tasty!).One note that's not really Modal's fault, but others may want to understand: this is a super affordable option that's convenient to much the Greenville has to offer - assuming you have transportation and/or time to walk. There are a few chain restaurants across the street, but access to Greenville's growing downtown scene is a pretty long walk for most folks. I had the luxury of using Modal as a place to relax/sleep, but if I were wanting to bop around & explore the city, I would add the cost of a rental car or a sizable Uber budget into my plans. You'll very likely want an easy way to get to/from the hostel during your stay.I'm looking forward to my next visit - thanks, Modal crew!Rooms: I rented Xeno, a 3-bunk room, as a private space. The room was very clean & comfortable, with lots of heavy fabirc accents & natural wood incorporated into the decor. There is lots of available storage, including large personal lockers assigned to your keycard & open storage space for personal items, packing/unpacking, etc. Each bunk includes a multiport wall charger and personal lighting. Bedding was clean & cozy, and appropriate layering was provided for the climate (which can range from freezing to balmy). Bunks are sturdy and include ladder access for guests. Each bunk includes a privacy curtain that can be drawn to block light/visibility. This room includes both a standalone sink/mirror and an en-suite bathroom with a large sink, toilet, and rainfall shower (but no tub). Towels are provided in your personal locker, and hot water was available right away.Nearby activities: Modal is most convenient to downtown Greenville, including many restaurants, Falls Park, and the Bons Secour Wellness Arena. Upstate SC includes many parks & outdoor experiences, the nearest being Paris Mountain State Park.Safety: Modal is in a quiet & well-lit suburban area. The facility exterior & onsite parking is well lit and open. The hostel has an onsite staff member available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Access to rooms & personal lockers is provided via keycard.Walkability: There are ample sidewalks in good repair with direct access to the downtown corridor (~1 mile away). Traffic can be heavy in the area which may affect your experience. Nearby major intersections have crosswalks & access ramps.Food & drinks: Onsite coffee shop serves typical fare (coffee + milk beverages, some baked goods & snacks) using local producers. The common kitchen has some breakfast staples stocked for your stay & includes a small canteen with snacks/drinks/necessities available for purchase.

Imagine everything you need and hope for in a hostel, then make it just a little more considerate, comfy, and beautiful. That’s Modal. As a frequent hostel-goer, I can’t recommend this place enough. Try it for yourself!

We checked in late, staff was helpful. The location was very close to a lot & parking in the back was convenient to back door. I wish there had been a way to enter the parking lot from the front. Turing left on a slight curve is stressful. The room was great, sleeping in bunk beds was a much enjoyed throwback however I wish there had been something else to hold on too once I got to the top stair.There was also a dip in the bathroom floor that felt a bit unsafe. I wanted to mention this to staff but we left before the shop opened. Everything else was on point & very clean!I would def stay here again!

This is definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed at. The bedding and mattresses are very comfortable, and the bunk curtains help to give you a little privacy. I didn't have any issues with noise, however I always use ear plugs at hostels (just in case).Staff was nice and very accommodating. Location is fantastic (less than half a mile from Gather Greenville and just a little over a mile walk to downtown). It was nice to wake up, cook some eggs, and order my morning latte without having to put on real pants.

Great stay for the price! cozy bed with curtains that allows me to feel like I'm in my own space up in there. Friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately the sound travels easily through the halls, and I am a light sleeper, so I was woken up by people returning to the hostel late at night and waking up to make breakfast early in the morning - if you're a deep sleeper, this wouldn't be a problemRooms: cozy, clean, nice.Walkability: Short walk to downtown, breweries, restaurants, etc.Food & drinks: Great coffee & great quality beer selection for a hostel. Unfortunately the bar closes at 8pm.
