Good call
We just got back from a three-day stay and had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast/kitchen situation was a lot better than I've had at other hostels. (Things weren't sticky, people did their dishes, good coffee.) You can come and go twenty-four hours/day, but the dorm was quiet after 10 p.m. The location is incredible. To be that close to an awesome beach for $30/night is pretty sweet. We brought our bikes over on the ferry and it was a relatively painless ride to town, nice bike paths.

I've stayed in hostels all over the world, and this is one of my favorites. If possible, I'd give it 4.5 stars, because it is very good. The only things not excellent about it are the lockout, its distance from town, and the cramped kitchen facilities. However, the view, its being right on the beach, the comfortable beds, the EXCELLENT staff, and the clean and hospitable facilities more than made up for this.

I was there in July 2003 and it was dirty dirty dirty. The "back dorm" room was fine. The beds were fine and the linens seemed clean enough, but the men's bathroom and showers were NASTY. A man has to take a dump so he does. But i took one nasty shower, and ended up using the public showers in town (free - for the boat folk). The guy who ran the place was quite nice, but I'm not sure he did anything during the "lock out" period other than go to the beach. I mean... what is a lock out for other than cleaning?!

One of the finest hostels in the nation! It a a very clean establishment with a nice sitting room and equipped kitchen. Beautiful Surfside beach is just a few steps away. The staff members are attentive and helpful! Love it!

A bit far out of town but set in a beautiful location. The staff are very friendly and all the amenities are more than adequate.
