I stayed here one night and had a great time with the guests and hosts. Both directed me to local and special places I was unaware of including places to get great Digby scallops. I really liked this place and would not hesitate to visit again.

This is one of my favorite hostels in Canada. Since 2010 I am always come back to stay at the hostel. It is very clean, people gather together in the living room or kitchen, awesome staff and friendly owners, comfortable beds.

The house is so well kept and so conveniently located. Every where is accesssible within walking distance...the public laundry, the fish market, convenience stores, restaurants, the harbour...The kitchen is fully equipped and I enjoyed cooking lobsters and scallops there so much. Saskia, Claude and the helpers are always around to offer help! Digby Backpackers is very resourceful and introduced to... More

I give this place ten out of ten. Its perfect. So clean and only a few minutes walk to the harbour. We only stayed one night but they let us check in late due to the bus times. Also they let us hang out the next day while waiting on our pick up lift. The breakfast was great and loads... More

My cousin and I were bicycling Nova Scotia and needed a last minute place to stay before catching the ferry back to the mainland. Finally we learned of the hostel and, being poor bike travelers, they were gracious enough to offer us a camping option and full use of facilities (showers much needed at this point). As a special unadvertised... More

I typically don't stay in hostels, but I was very pleasantly surprised with Digby Backpackers Inn. It was very clean and comfortable, and felt more like I was staying with old family friends than a hostel. There was only 4 people staying there that night, so the 1 bathroom was a non-issue. If I ever find myself in Digby again,... More

I was roadtripping Nova Scotia, and was supposed to stay in Kejimkujik park that night but it was pouring so I extended my journey to Digby. It was late but I would still be nicely welcomed ! The rooms are nice, and everything is super clean and quiet. They gave me great recommendations about whale watching and places to go... More

I had planned to stay at the Digby Backpackers Inn to break up my Maritime trip but when I arrived, I was disappointed to only be staying one night. It had such a homey feel. We got great suggestions on places to eat and where to hike for panoramic views. Breakfast was unexpected and what a spread! I would recommend... More
