    I saved my 1000th review to write about this amazing hostel. It was by far the best hostel…read moreexperience I've ever had, and I would recommend it to families with kids, college students, backpackers... anyone! 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!

    This hostel was excellent. The location was incredible because it was a former life guard station…read more(its a historic building), a bit far from town (3.5 miles) but so close to the beach. 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.

    I love these places; they're so important to have for travelers of modest means, especially in a…read moreplace where "modest means" is a foreign language. 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.

    It's a hostel, so you are sharing a space with lots of strangers which some people are not used to…read moredoing. I choose to take the opportunity to make new friends from all over the world! It's fascinating who you will meet and the stories you hear. On an island where lodging is way over priced, this is a steal. Minutes from the beach, nice outside area with a fire pit, a 20mins bike ride from town, I think it's a great place and I am enjoying the stay. At night it can be frustrating depending on your neighbors, first night there were 3 loud teenage girls who didn't respect the 10pm quiet time, thankfully they left the next day. Bring earplugs and an eye mask.

    My partner Mark and I had the most epic time at this ridiculously friendly hostel on Martha's…read moreVineyard just before memorial day weekend, and the service was top-notch, thanks to the awesome staff, including Andy, Chris, and Edward - I mean, these guys knew how to throw down some serious hospitality! I'm still kicking myself for not knowing they needed some kitchen goodies, 'cause I would've totally brought some from my home in the SF Bay Area - I'm all about pitching in, you know? 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!

    The shower curtain is disgusting. There are no night lights in dorm 1. The liquid soap has been…read morediluted. The three fridges are overflowing and each has its' own particular aroma. It was sheer agony trying to open the door to dorm 1. I had the correct code but the door would not open. Check-in Michael is rude beyond words and manager, Michael is a freak who doesn't understand basic English. 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.
