Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel Reviews

This is a terrific hostel to stay in! The best thing is they have staff that actually like working there! and that really does make a huge difference. my advice for any travellers is to just start talking with the staff about anything sport, politics or America and then you find yourself hours later still there! its located only 1 30min bus from disney which is great. the only thing i can fault the place on is the cleanliness and its a bit old but for such a low price you can not complain!

The staff were so friendly,and the manager was freaking funny,had a good time over there

At first we didnt quite know what to think as it is more like a roadside motel than your typical hostel but it actually turned out to be a great stay. There were four of us and we had our own motel room with bathroom, it was clean and comfortable and bed linen and towels were provided. They emptied the garbage and gave fresh towels if you wanted each day. The staff were super chilled and friendly and went out of their way to help. Easy bus ride or shuttle to both theme parks also.

On staying here, only two things did disturb us: shower was all moldy and keys didn't work very well. Otherwise it was a very good cheap hostel. They didn't have faxi service as their page suggested, but there was internet instead (free wifi for laptops & tabletops to others). We didn't have lots of time to spend at the hostel, but it seemed that those who did had a good time, and they didn't disturb others because hanging around happened on different building than sleeping.

very uncomfortable communicating with the owner. show no respect to customer.

I was well satisfied. I paid $15 per night for lodging, and I got all I could ask for. Thank you!

The hostel was pretty good. It's actually a motel that has been partly converted into a hostel. My room was like a motel room that bunk beds. The shower was pretty disgusting, and the curtain had mold all over, but the rest of the room was clean enough. There were lockers in the room. The main office had free wifi. The location is great if you have a car and want to go to Disney World. Staff was okay, but there was a weird, bossy girl who seemed to live in our room. Not sure if she worked there.

This is a cheap hostel. The room was small, with a simple bathroom that doesn't smell as good as expected. The card key doesn't work very well. Kitchen and office open after 8am, so if your plan is to wake up early to enjoy the parks you need to have a breakfast outside. It is very convenient to go to Disney (25min by bus, which stops near the front door) but a time consuming to go to Universal and Sea World (at least 2 bus - I spent 2h30 to go to Universal).

people coming in 2 am turning all the light on waking every one up and the management sees nothing wrong with that .the long term people are food vultures when making a meal 33$ kfc was not good enough spent 45$ on food with one of the long tern people who was one of the house keeping people plus 20 and a 50 dinner on new years. someone in another dorm was lockout of his room at 2am trying to get for 15 min if you don't need sleep my stay was fine ,but ,i need to sleep at night not the day

We had a really nice stay at the palm lakefront hostel. The Staff is really friendly and the private room was really clean and has a nice seperate bathroom and two big and comfortable beds.

Water tasted very funky and smelled weird (was fine at Disney). Lots of places to sit and plugin laptop. Furniture was pretty old and worn.

Though my stay there was brief, I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was open and inviting. Thanks!

It was hard to find someone who could assist at reception and they never seemed very enthusiastic about helping..

Had a Great time was good for sleeping and spending the day out in the parks!! :)

The wonderful conditions for such a cheap price, but the lock didn't work that good and the room wasn't very clean. though the staff is really friendly and helpful.

goos hostel, could use a little more tlc in the cleaning department, but not uncomfortable

Watch out for your things, somebody took my cigaretts

Lovely stay, rooms are spacious, and common area is great for making friends. Was traveling alone and manage to meet a lot of people there. Great to find company to go to the parks. Owner is very helpful! Thanks for a great stay!

good to stay one night. Very cheap, thats the only advantage.

Hostel was in a good location. Bus station was right across the road and takes you direct to Disneyland. Staff were very helpful. Not alot of nightly activities were organised but there were options of buses to Universal etc during the day.
