Downtown Hostel St. John's NFL in St. John's … This hostel is awesome — during my stay I really enjoyed the warm and cozy atmosphere at this place. Carola and Bill are so friendly and helpful concerning all backpacker needs. I also met many other travelers and made new friends when we were cooking and sitting together in the common room. I strongly recommend this place! Thanks for everything! Alex :)
City Hostel in St. John's … City Hostel is just amazing. The owners and workers there are all fantastic, and there is no experience like staying in a hostel for a week. The ranges of people that you get to meet and even stay friends with in some cases. The location is unbeatable, and the price too! I definitely recommend City Hostel to anyone who wants to stay in St. John's!
City Hostel in St. John's … From the minute I arrived in St. John's I was taken care of. Dave picked me up from the original location and took me to the other one. The hostel is newly renovated and is kept clean. There were clean sheets, blankets, and towels for everyone. I needed info about St. John's the next morning to budget my time and Dennis was there to tell me all the places he thought that I would like. Every single one was enjoyable. If there was anything needed they were willing to go the extra mile for you. The tours are customized and as long as no one else is on a different one, you can pretty much chose your destinations, may it be a ten-hour drive around the Irish Loop. It is the most amazing place I have ever been to. They do more for you than a five-star hotel would.Thanks guys. You made my five-day stay in St. John's the best vacation I have ever had.
Downtown Hostel St. John's NFL in St. John's … Quaint and tiny, but very cool. Carola and Bill ROCK!! Carola's "Yoda Straps" saved my life from what could have been an unfortunate biking/camping adventure. I have purposefully gone out and hunted for Quidi Vidi beer in Ontario (and found it!!). This place has hiking, biking and generally clean air :-)
Moo Moo's Ice Cream and Chucky's Fish & Chips are a close walk from here, and Screech (I still have some left, which is being saved for my birthday). In two weeks on the coast, I counted only ONE unfortunately sober day. Cheers to this little jewel.
City Hostel in St. John's … I stayed at City Hostel for about a week in total, enjoyed the cleanliness of the rooms, the towels, shower, privacy, and proximity to everything. I really enjoyed the tours from the hostel and found the owners and drivers Dave and Dennis very knowledgeable about their country, their history and travelling. They made my trip much more relaxed than it was up until I arrived there. Everyone was impressed with the rooms, and the staff's helpfulness, and friendly, down-to-earth attitude. They made you feel part of the place. I would definitely book here again, and recommend it highly. They also connected me to other hostels as I traveled about. Thanks.
City Hostel in St. John's … From the moment I came in the door I was treated like a friend. I'd never stayed at a hostel before but from this experience I would look toward booking one again when traveling. City Hostel is a bonus to the city of St. John's. They'll point you in the right direction and truly care about your experience while there. If you ever find yourself visiting and are looking for a convenient, clean and comfortable location in downtown St. John's I highly recommend staying here.
Thanks again to Dennis and the staff there. Way to go guys.
City Hostel in St. John's … I stayed in the City Hostel for two weeks this May. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were clean, and the staff always friendly and helpful. They helped me arrange two hikes along the East Coast Trail and were full of useful information (local attractions, directions to grocery store). The wireless internet worked (a rare thing, in my experience), and when the toilet broke one night, a plumber fixed it first thing the next morning. Overall, City Hostel is a friendly and clean hostel in a great location (in a great city!) -- what more could you ask for?
Downtown Hostel St. John's NFL in St. John's … You cannot go to St. John's without visiting this hostel! I had an amazing time there. We had fun with Bill and Jack in the evening and got to know many of the other travelers. I will never forget it!
City Hostel in St. John's … Staying at the City Hostel made my visit to St. John's and area a wonderful experience. All the staff are very helpful in providing information, whether it be modes of travel, things to see and do, or places to eat. Both hostel locations have all the amenities, even internet, but it is the people that made my stay enjoyable.
City Hostel in St. John's … city hostel is a good choice for travelers who want to get in contact with other guests. In the kitchen and living room, making plans for trips is easy and you feel more at home than in hostels with huge professional kitchens. I loved the free Internet access and the computers provided as I did not bring my own laptop. the six-bed female dorm had its own bathroom and showers. The only reason why I chose four stars is the dusty floor and the charming but chaotic kitchen equipment. Walking downtown is fast, but the hostel lies in a very quiet street. A Dominion supermarket is close by -- St. John's is rather expensive for backpackers' budgets! I would stay there again.
Woody Point Hostel in Bonne Bay … Although I did not come prepared with hiking equipment and a sleeping bag which is what they usually get here. I was quite touched by the kindness of Emma, who met me at the hostel and gave me the goods to stay warm for the night. I regret that I wasn't able to stay longer as it was the most peaceful setting I have yet to experience. I had left my luggage on the bus and therefore, regrettably returned. I am sure the people in this little village would have given me a jacket and some blankets to stay longer. I knew I had missed a 'god given opportunity'(for some real inner rest & peace) when I was back on the bus. I plan to return to Woody Point and stay at the hostel next summer if possible, with a sleeping bag and transportation. Thanks Emma for your kindness.
Downtown Hostel St. John's NFL in St. John's … I really enjoyed my stay at the Downtown Hostel. Bill, the resident manager and teller of tall tales, is very friendly and spent time with the guests, making us feel very welcome He will give you the shirt off his own back to help you out if needed. Oh, Bill also throws a great kitchen party! Ask him to hypnotize you. I have stayed at hostels that may have been fancier, but none were more down to earth and friendly as this one.
