I loved the location, it's in a really great spot close to the downtown area. It's in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from DT and the waterfront with lots of nearby shops, restaurants, transit, historic areas, etc! I enjoyed how the inn was decorated, very homely vibes. There are lots of hangout spots within and around the building for leisure and the staff were very kind! I will definitely be staying there again on my next visit to Charlottetown.

“It perfectly met my needs for this 2 night trip 🙂.”
Simple but a nice offering to start the day. Especially appreciated the extra effort by the staff of providing homemade banana bread.

“Nice and clean hostel in the historical centre of Charlottetown. Good ambience, friendly hosts”
The hostel facility is centrally located. It is a nice and cozy traditional house. The host/manager is very friendly and easygoing. Beds were fine and comfy, I slept as a log. A/C was working in full strength in the attic. Lounges and the kitchen space were welcoming. Bathrooms were clean. Breakfasts were just fine for a hostel with oatmeal, toasts with jam, banana bread, fresh fruit and coffee.
