Nice home-like atmosphere with no smoking and no alcohol allowed inside the hostel. We have a community self-service kitchen, living room area with couches, nice front porch, bbq gas grill in the backyard, on-site laundry machines and much more.
New Paltz Hostel is owned by manager Craig Sheppard. Craig has traveled the world extensively and was introduced to hosteling at an early age. Traveling and spending time in hostels has given him the opportunities to learn and share with other travelers.
In settling down and opening New Paltz Hostel, Craig can "give back" to the many travelers that pass through this beautiful and cultural area of the Mid-Hudson Valley. Spending time in hostels has allowed him to see what is good in hostels. He has made New Paltz Hostel into a warm and inviting environment that is economical for all travelers.
We do not allow homeless people to stay here. We are neither trained nor equipped to handle their special needs.
