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.

As a seasoned traveller we were amazed what a poor deal was offered.

The location was good and the staff put a brave face on the lack of privacy.

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.
