They even make you pancakes in the morning! The hostel is a great building- a former coastguard station and is just a short walk from a beautiful Truro beach. I would definitely recommend taking a car here though, because the location of the hostel is somewhat off of the beaten path. With a car, you can easily get the Provincetown in about ten minutes and explore National Seashore Beaches, great restaurants, boutiques and art galleries. Definitely check this out for a recession-friendly summer vacation!

The bathrooms were really clean and modern, all of them were beach themed. The rooms were very welcoming, clean and spacious, even though they were dorm-style bunks. The receptionist who works during the day was so nice, she helped me plan out my trip. They also update their blackboard in the lounge downstairs with the weather and the events that are happening for that day, so you can always check it out in the morning when you wake up. They have wifi and good security. I would stay here again when I'm ever in the area!

Janice, Sam, and the rest of the hostel crew make this place feel very communal while not encroaching on personal space. It's so incredibly clean, and much care is taken to keep the hostel running smoothly. Be sure to book your stay in advance. Co-ed and single sex rooming is available. Some of the buildings even have their own personal bathrooms, which was a really pleasant surprise. The price is RIGHT. Less than $40/night to stay in Nantucket? With a practically-private beach at Surfside? Yes, please!

Obviously, since this is a hostel it was a bargain- $35 a night for a dorm room bed. The dorm option may not be for someone who wants more privacy, in that case renting the private room in the hostel (140) or a hotel room in town ($$$$) may be the way to go. I loved it though, I traveled alone so it was a great opportunity to be able to do things on my own as well as meet other travelers of all ages from the US and many different countries. Breakfast and coffee is included and there's a full kitchen which was very convient to cook in (and a lot cheaper than the restaurant dinner prices). I highly recommend this place.

The people were great; friendly and helpful. You have to expect for the price that the accommodations would be pretty spartan, and they are; tiny beds and rough linens lots of talking, snoring, floor creaking neighbors and all that, but I don't really care...I'm just there to lay my head, as is everyone else there. The location is better than you could even imagine: in an old coastal rescue station right by the water and down the street from the beach; fabulous. A couple of things that could use improvement: the bathroom experience. You can't control everyone's actions, but my shower experience typically consisted of walking over a soaked floor and taking a cold shower with hand soap. Granted, next time I'll bring soap, but it wouldn't kill them to stock some there for purchase. Maybe seal the shower doors a bit better? And I don't know how you get *more* hot water, but it would just be a nice plus. Also, I'm thinking maybe there could be *some* lower age limit in the dorms. I was thankfully in the "old guys end" (like 21+), but I was a little caught off guard to wake up and find like...12-year-olds on the other end of the room, seemingly unsupervised. It's just a matter of behavior and habits. So maybe...18? 16? I don't know. At any rate, when I come back to Nantucket, I'll be staying here.

Nice people, but it's really difficult to sleep here. The floors and walls are hollow (no…read moreinsulation) so every sound echoes. The stairs have no carpeting, so anyone walking in and out makes tons of noise. Quiet hours end at 7AM, and so people were having full on conversations with each other and on their cellphones at full volume while other people were trying to sleep. Probably the loudest hostel I've ever stayed at (out of many). I don't think the people running it realize that not everyone wakes up early like them, and they live in their own cottages so they aren't witnessing it every day either.

It is five minutes outside the rush of downtown P-town, just removed enough to be quiet without being lost outside of the tourist/pedestrian district. The hostel is comprised of 4 different cottages- male only, female only, and co-ed. The buildings are adorable, each has ~6 beds, a reasonable bathroom, and nice windows (with screens). There is a shared kitchen that is small but functional, a picnic area and grills that are available for use. I stayed in a co-ed cabin for a couple nights with a some friends. We took the ferry to P-town in order to roll onto our bikes early in the morning and pedal all day. When we rolled back into the hostel-zone, we found tea/cocoa on the stove in kitchen, some obligatory guitar playing, and all of our stuff where we had left it. For the minimal cost and killer location, it's hard / impossible to say no. I'd go back!

Our trip was, like, totally unforgettable, and we're already planning our return trip next year if not the year after, whether we're headed to Maine or the UK - and the cherry on top was meeting some cool young dudes who were hunting turkey in the vineyard to keep the population in check, talk about multitasking!

It was sheer agony trying to open the door to dorm 1. I had the correct code but the door would not open.

I felt very uncomfortable the first night and told Ryan I wanted a refund to avoid "pain and suffering" on all sides. I was granted a full refund: however, I was soon thereafter, for no reason banished from the hostel and property. The text to me read, "If you come back it will be considered trespassing and you will be arrested." That was cruel and totally uncalled for and undeserved. The situation was very poorly handled. Trained chimps could have done it better.

A view of a pool fence a small glimpse of a harbor view. The room had no screen in the bathroom window which allowed pests to fly into the room and dead bugs in the tub. The toilet area so small you have to remove the toilet paper roll from the wall holder to sit on the seat. The closet doors were broken and couldn't close.
