A really great place
I stayed at this hostel a couple of days in August '08 and I had a great time. Merrilee, the owner, is the best hostel manager I've ever met -- and I've stayed in many hostels in the U.S., New Zealand, and Australia. She knows everything about Newport, is very helpful, friendly, outgoing, and you can feel that she enjoys what she's doing. She's a great ambassador for Newport. The hostel is very clean and comfy and Newport is a wonderful place to stay for some days since there's plenty to do.

Excellent hostel
I was recently here for three nights and had a wonderful stay. It is very clean and conveniently located. It has only single beds (no bunk beds) and twenty-four-hour access. Merrilee, the owner and operator, is very knowledgeable about Newport and gave some very helpful information about what to see, where to eat. Maps, brochures, transportation schedules, and updates on events in Newport are all available at the hostel. I would definitely recommend staying here.

This was a wonderful experience. I was new to hostelling and I found this to be a wonderful place. The owner was so cordial and she attended to all the needs of someone visiting Newport, from great places to dine to things to see and do. And the house was so comfy. The owner even gave us a night walk, telling us the old history of Newport. I have to visit again soon. Great people, great times, and a wonderful place to visit.
