Atlanta International Hostel is conveniently located on the North-East MARTA line direct from the Airport -- stop at North Avenue. Exit the station at the back of the train (when coming from the airport) go onto North Avenue, turn left walk four blocks down to Myrtle Street, make another left -- the hostel is on the right hand side at the corner of Myrtle Street and Ponce de Leon Avenue NE.
The hostel is a charming, Victorian-style house on three floors. Coed or single-sex dorms are four to ten beds, some with en-suite bathroom. The antique bathtubs/showers might sometimes be missing hot water!
TV lounge and pool game areas are pretty large, as is the fourteen-seat guest table and the covered patio, but the kitchen is really small in comparison. There is a microwave in the dining area as well and some guests might not be cooking but only reheating prepared food.
This is not an official backpacker hostel and this is what makes the place very enjoyable. There are some antiques and memorabilia all over the stairs and common areas, giving the place a lot of charm. There is a covered balcony on the second floor and lockers are available on first and second floor corridors.
Check in is available until midnight and the friendly staff there will do all they can to be more than helpful. Give them a try and eventually extend your stay (even if the traffic can be sometimes noisy) -- this place really has a great central location, a character-filled house, and a place to make new friends. We will definitely be back if landing in Atlanta again.
