“An unforgettable stay filled with kindness, great people, and wonderful memories.”
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel. The location was fantastic, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was welcoming from the moment I arrived. What truly made this stay memorable, however, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely invested in making guests feel at home. A special thank you to David and the rest of the team for their warmth, positive energy, and outstanding hospitality. I came to Cape Cod looking for a relaxing getaway and left with unforgettable memories. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

“A great affordable base for Cape Cod adventures.”
Big kitchen with everything we needed to prepare dinners & breakfasts. Good food storage system in the fridge, and warning notes from the staff before anything unlabeled is thrown away (so you have a chance to label it). Showers fine, bathrooms nicely cleaned every day. Nice location by the harbourfront. Great large parking lot. Cute, aesthetic buildings and rooms.

The hostel staff was great and they gave me great recommendations what to do in the area. :) Also the place was clean and downstairs is a kitchen and a common area with couches which was super nice. There are also many bathrooms in the building and they are clean. The hostels location is close to the main street of Hyannis and next to the harbour and also the bus/train station is not far away so it was easy for me to travel there without a car.

I stayed at this hostel for a few hours due to an early flight, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and the house was cozy, equipped with everything I needed. It’s also very affordable, especially for students or budget travelers.

“clean hostel, great location, worth the money”
It was a very clean and conveniently located hostel. The rooms are simply furnished but adequate if spending most of your time out of the room.

“Lovely hostel, would stay again”
Great location directly in Hyannis, beautiful and well-maintained house. The rooms provide enough space and the bathrooms were very clean, as was the kitchen. Wifi works well. The breakfast (granola bars) is nothing to get excited about but better than nothing, and I really appreciated that there was a selection of tea available. Had a great stay and would definitely visit again.

This hostel really has a soul. Staff was committed to create a great stay for us guests. It was easy to talk to fellow guests and get in touch with travellers. Everything is decorated in a maritime design which really made me feel like home. There are large windows in the common area which allow a view to Hyannis harbour. The communal kitchen was amazing - spacious stove, great storage and everything was sparkling clean. 9/10 would recommend and come again.
