HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … I've stayed here twice and think it's a really good price for being right in the center of Fredericton — a short walk from the river, historic sites, shops, restaurants, etc. It's near a bus line to UNB and only a couple of short blocks from the SMT bus station.
Fredericton is not a very noisy or bustling city, and is really quite small in comparison to most. But if you're looking to relax and enjoy a bit of New Brunswick history and culture (there's at least one decent pub within walking distance of the hostel) it's really a nice place to spend a day or two.
HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … I stayed at this hostel a few weeks ago and loved it! Our room was gigantic (though I don't know if all the rooms are the same size) and the hostel was incredibly quiet at night and in the evening. Perhaps it wasn't as well organized as some of the other hostels I've been to... but the location is great and George, one of the owners, is the friendliest guy you'll ever meet!
HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … I stayed in this hostel for one night during the summer of 2008. The hostel is huge and looks ok from the outside. There is free parking right by the hostel and the hostel is situated very close to downtown. As we walked up to hostel, we noted a few middle-aged guys sitting outside around a table smoking cigarettes. They looked a little beat up by life. Entering the hostel, we were somewhat brusquely greeted by the desk staff. He seemed to be annoyed to be working. He seemed a bit confused by our reservation, even though it was sitting there at his desk. He told us they only accept cash, so we had to walk to a bank. Walking to our room, the general atmosphere of the hostel was a bit dark. The halls smelled of rotting garbage and there was an aura of neglect to the paint. The room we were assigned was generally clean, but dingy. That evening we gathered in one of the common rooms and met some other folks who were staying there. Apparently some students from the nearby university stay…
HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … This hostel sucks. Many kids live there and they always make noise and it's very loud. It's so annoying. And the kitchen is quite big but totally useless. There is no kitchen stuff like pans, kettles, or knives. I'll never stay there.
HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … Awful. Dirty, very old furniture and absolutely no charm at all. Very noisy all night, and the large creepy old building made me very uncomfortable. Felt like staying in a disused prison or lunatic asylum from the 1800s. Booked for two nights, 'slept' for one with the lights on, got up at the break of dawn and left as fast as I could. I can't believe this place has a HI associaton. The worst place I have stayed in anywhere in the world in several years of travelling. Avoid at all costs.
HI - Fredericton International Hostel in Fredericton … I stayed in this hostel for one night and I would not recommend it to anyone. It is dark, old, rundown, smelly, and terrible. I really cannot believe that they are HI. HI needs to inspect them (without advance notice) and take away the membership. You stay in a private room, which sounds nice but because everything is so rundown it is not nice. There are a lot of long-term guests and it are strange and weird persons. For hostelers they have a separate kitchen (smelled to garbage) and living room. You have to lock the kitchen always, the same for you own room and the front door. It does not give you a safe feeling at all, so even in my private room I did not feel safe at all, especially because of all the weird persons and having to lock everything. During the night I even blocked my door with a chair to reassure myself a bit more. Avoid this place if possible!
Restwell Motel in Moncton … This hotel was charming, quiet and very comfortable, but the price I ended up paying was double of what I was quoted online. I would not have booked had I known it would be so high. Beware!

Newman House Hostel in Saint John … Newman House is the only hostel in Saint John and just opened this year. It was a family home before and the owner still lives upstairs, while downstairs is now made up for backpackers. Since it sleeps only six people, it has still the atmosphere of a family home.
The Location
The hostel is…
HI - Campbellton Lighthouse Hostel in Campbellton … The HI Campbellton Lighthouse Hostel is a must for anyone planning a stay in Campbellton or, more likely, planning to pass through Campbellton en route to Quebec or southern New Brunswick.

C'mon Inn Hostel in Moncton … The C'mon Inn feels less like a hostel and more like your rich, hip cousins have invited you to stay in their big, gorgeous house while you backpack across New Brunswick. The hostel just opened in May, 2006, and the owners are off to a fantastic start. The rooms are captivatingly decorated by…
