“Value for money in PTown, Friendly people, Ideal for budget travellers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

If you are visiting PTown on your own or with your friends and looking for a relaxed, inexpensive place, this is the best bet. This is NOT an urban hostel with 24 hour front desk, ultra-clean rooms and wifi, but a bunch of (mixed) dorm style cabins run and maintained by a sincere, attentive woman. The cabin I was in had six beds and an attached bath with hot showers. 5 mins walk from commercial street/ ferry point (another advantage if you not driving and cannot afford to stay in a motel 20 miles out of town). A modest common kitchen with enough utensils and accessories to put together a decent meal and make friends (most of them I found were people who have stayed there on many occasions over years) while making/eating it. The room I was in had three safety lockers (that nobody bothered to use), bring your own locks to use them. Very reasonable price comparing to other ridiculously priced options in PTown. Will definitely go back.

“Go somewhere else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2010

not super clean. Carpet with stains. Though the bed sheets had been washed, had ink stains, shower with low pressure
Alternatives: check a bit in advance bed and breakfast in Provincetown and motels on Cape Co sound, outside Provincetown

Stayed May 2009, travelled with friends

“Basic”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2009

Cabins in need of total renevation. Shower warm, kitchen tiny and not very clean but just about useable. Manager never around. I'm sure better can be found.

“Never Go There! They'll Charge Your Card Over And Over”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2008

NEVER GO TO THIS HOSTEL.
They have charged my card a year after I stay there. I remember they hhave first forgot our reservation and wanted us to pay again. And now I just see that they tried to charge my card over again after a year !!!

Plus it was really a terrible hostel : not clean, nasty landlady (really bad and weird). Actually I'm not very suprised that thing about my card happened.
Hopefully my card was overdated so my bank saw this very quickly.

AGAIN PLEASE NEVER GO TO THIS HOSTEL. IT SHOULD REALLY BE CLOSED !!!!

“Nothing like the film!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2007

person found this review helpful

This little hostel is just MINUTES away from the center of PTown up a little hill that is perfect for great nightlife and the street seperating it from the center keeps bedtime quiet and just right. A little biased about the stay - as we were able to stay alone (just the two of us... no other people stayed) so with other people the room would have been a tab too small and awkard.. BUT the owner is AMAZING both in person and on the phone. The price is right for a college student's budget... and for it you get what you pay - a cute small dorm with the chance of staying with strangers under or above you. But if your young.. or young at heart and want a place to stay for $25 instead of $350.... it is GREAT!!

*also, please note: if you are a lesbian... there are hot girls 24-7 a street away. that is all.

  • Liked — The location and owner
  • Disliked — No heat, cleanliness (was not dirt.. more like a few bugs and rust.. nothing we can't handle right?)
