About

Affordable accommodation needs not be institutional, or impersonal. We have invested in quality, because your hostel is also our home.

Charmed by Island life, we have crossed the bridge and chosen a path. Years of backpacking travel experience from both sides of the desk culminates in the ideal small hostel to fit the ideal small island. Inside the picturesque birthplace of Canada, an immaculate concept is borne.

Check In and Chill Out.

We have Female-Only as well as All-Gender dormitory rooms, private and family rooms are also available on a limited basis, book early to avoid disappointment. If you are looking for a room and cannot find it online, please contact us directly by e-mail or telephone.

Relax after a day of touring on our leather sofas, perhaps watching one of our many DVDs, VHS, or your favourite streaming channel on our SmartTV that sits over the fireplace. Or enjoy a beverage in the evening on our large deck. Just steps away, our recreation room features a custom made billiard table, free book exchange, stereo, or you may listen to our extensive collection of vintage vinyl. Of course, we also offer discounts with local operators, friendly, accommodating and respectful staff, free parking.

Staying here was super convenient as it has late check-in and is located super close to downtown. While the neighborhood is quiet you are a quick 5 minute walk to bars and restaurants. My only negative comment was that I was surprised to find that the mixed dorm had no bed privacy so bring pjs!

Awesome! One of the staff members knows American Sign Language — you’ll feel welcome and understood, with great awareness of Deaf culture! :)

Love the stay here. People (both staff and guests) were lovely and it is a great location. Everything is well organised and clean and it’s great value for money.
