North Carolina Hostels

HI - Pembroke House Hostel in Pembroke … We used this hostel as a stopping point in a two-day drive to Florida. It has a very nice owner, and the beds were so comfy!! It was even better than my room at college. Clean and quiet, but not somewhere I'd go as a destination (too rural for my city tastes!)

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … BEST HOSTEL EVER!!! You have got to stay here... Hot tub, bikes, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, an aquarium with fish... What more could you want? Bon Paul and Sharky's is by far the best hostel on the East Coast. I wish I could live here all of the time it is so awesome! :)

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … Short but intense, we spent only one night there and it was simply fantastic. Since the very first moment we felt very comfortable, not only at home but also going out at night. Paul and his friends, Katherine, Rebecca and others gave us a very nice treat. I could even chat a little bit in my homeland language, in Spanish! I strongly recommend this hostel as well as the city of Asheville to spend a nice laid-back, wonderful time.

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … A wonderful time! Beds were comfortable, bathrooms immaculate, the hot tub was great, and the people were wonderful! Can't wait to go back.

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … What can I say... I had the best time at Bon Paul and Sharky's! It's a great hostel, and it's clear that Joe has taken all the best bits from the hostels he's stayed in in his travels and put them in West Asheville. Great bar called the Westville 2 mins walk from the hostel with good live music, good laundry up the road (with a great pool hall next to it, so you can "shoot sum" while washing your dirty undies!) All the staff made us "funny talkers" welcome, and one (Jeremy) even went out of his way to give me lifts to my next destination in return for gas money and a few beers!

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … Great place, great staff, clean environment. :)

HI - Pembroke House Hostel in Pembroke … We had an environmental tour of cypress lake and uninhabited island in January. Spenttwo nights at the hostel and found it very relaxing. Weather great and lots of things to do on the lakes and the Lumber River near the hostel. Although room had TV, we did not even turn it on!

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … i have to say, this is a great hostel! cool, laid back, clean, friendly (even dog friendly w/ a kennel out back). the staff is great, the area has lots to do and the hostel itself is clean and well equipped with hi speed wifi, big screen tv, and even a hot tub on the back deck. steps away from a cool pub and close driving distance to absolutely beautiful hiking. i had a great time there and highly reccommend it.

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … We stayed here for two nights. It was a very welcoming and comfortable place. Joe was incredibly helpful in any way he could be and he went out of his way to make our stay wonderful! Lots of neat shops/cafes within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again!

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … This is the best hostel I have stayed in to date. It's very clean, has a welcoming atmosphere, a nice common area and nice staff. The guy who owns this hostel even lent me some of his old shoes for white water rafting.

Bon Paul & Sharky's Hostel in Asheville … I have stayed in both hostels in Asheville and this is by far the better of the two. Joe, the owner, is very friendly and fun and the other employees here are also great to be around. Staying here feels more like visiting close relative or friends than being in a hostel. The hot tub is great and the kitchen has everything you need and is easy to navigate. I camped in the backyard and found it to be pretty comfortable. Joe even let me borrow his tarp. :) I have nothing but good things to say about this hostel! (As a woman traveler, I felt completely at ease here.) Thanks a million!!!
