Virginia Hostels

Wake … This place is serene and beautiful with classic country charm and wonderful hospitality. Located right off the Rappahannock River, I was able to go to the beach, go canoeing, and relax by hiking on their 36 acres of forested paths and fields of grass and fruit trees. Kind of secluded, but perfect if that is what you are looking for

HI - Virginia Beach Hostel - Angie's Guest Cottage in Virginia Beach … I cant believe the negative comments about this place. I stayed here on two seperate occassions, once in 2000 when my gf and I came to Va Beach from Scotland to live and work, and Barbara more than helped us find our feet and helped with advice on where to stay. I came back travelling with a friend in 2002 and stayed at the end of the season for three weeks, it was fantastic. It is a travellers hostel, good bbq facilities, fifty steps from the beach, the fans in the room to me are soothing, and again Barbara remembered me, and although she can be annoyed at those sleeping in after ten, and messy, arent all women!!! hehe. I would go back here in a heartbeat, in fact if I came into money, Id make an offer on the place, and not change it one bit! My fave hostel in the entire U.S. -- five stars, remember, talk the talk and you can get into any of the big hotels pools (and score a free breakfast -- lived on them for one week in 2000!)

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … I stayed there last night. I had a beautiful, lovely time. Very friendly and helpful owner, and amazing location. The hostel was clean and I felt very safe. I highly recommend a stay at this place if you are passing through the area!

Piney Hill Bed & Breakfast in Luray … They always say that you get what you pay for. Well, this bed and breakfast far exceeds any expectations you may ever have. I highly recommend Piney Hill Bed & Breakfast in Luray, Virginia. Let's not forget the awesome breakfasts provided every morning. Wiley and Hank are the BEST!!

HI - Virginia Beach Hostel - Angie's Guest Cottage in Virginia Beach … I spent the summer working in Virginia then had a few weeks travelling in the area. Angie's was one of the best hostels that I have ever stayed in (and I've been in more than a few!). It was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and there was access to anything and everything that you could possibly need! When in Virginia they had an extremely hot week where the temperature rose to one hundred and sixteen degrees and I was living in a tent. I think that if I had been in the hostel I would have been sleeping outside -- the heat in the female dorm was its only let down but it was bearable, and as the owner said, the place wouldn't be able to charge $20 a night if they had to install and run airconditioning! If you're looking for somewhere cheap and nice to stay definitely come here!

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … We stayed last weekend and had a wonderful time. The location was gorgeous. Alex and his wife are great. There are lots of things to do in the area and hiking the Cumberland Knob Trail was beautiful. Anyone will have a great time.

Bear's Den Hostel in Bluemont … Outstanding hostel. I have stayed here during past thru-hikes. This is the place where, after "surviving" the "Roller Coaster," you stop in for some of their Ben & Jerry's ice cream. It is well worth an overnight stay. There is an excellent food preparation area in the kitchen and a really nice "Great Room" with fireplace, books, etc. The folks who run the place are really nice. They bent over backwards to help me out.

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … A jewel of a hostel in the private home of two colorful seniors along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. The hospitality alone is worth the trip. Public transportation is poor, but if you are driving cross-country from DC to Atlanta or points west, this makes a good breaking point.

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … Stopped by for a single night on a whirlwind tour of the USA in May 1995. Beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations. I chatted the evening away with the owners and marvelled at the lights dimming at around 9 or 10pm when the voltage dropped to cater for Washington DC.

Bear's Den Hostel in Bluemont … Charming rustic lodge on Appalachian Trail. Hikers' room has TV, free computer/internet, and long distance phone. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Hikers very friendly and interesting. Several theme trails on the grounds. Clean and quiet!

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … I visited this hostel whilst attending the fiddler's convention. Mr. and Mrs. Koji play banjo and autoharp. We had a lovely evening playing and singing old time mountain music. The hostel environmental standards are outstanding - very clean and comfortable.

Alexander House in Charlottesville … Immaculate three bedroom hostel with full kitchen and sunny dining room. An easy walk to downtown mall area. Nice furnishings especially in common rooms. Mare, the off-site owner, was very helpful putting Charlottesville at our fingertips. Enjoyed the morning bagels, OJ, and chicory coffee provided. Happened to have the whole house to ourselves. Nearby tapas restaurant, Mas, is exceptional and the nearby cafe has great coffee and menu. Charlottesville is great for food and music and rolling hills. There is a (bigger) Monticello Avenue and the smaller Monticello Road. Hostel is on the Road. There's just one full bathroom, but that seems manageable even though house can sleep seven guests. Hope to visit again!

HI - Galax Hostel - Blue Ridge Mountains Hostel in Galax … I enjoyed my stay and went to see a performance at the Rex Theater in Galax. BTW, the Web site for the theater is www.rextheatergalax.com. It lists all the upcoming performances and has links to the artist's Web sites and music.
