Cathy was great and had lots of information.The rooms are very clean and roomy.The location is superb more

The owners of this hostel are some of the kindest, most helpful people I have ever met in my travels. This hostel was one of the high points of our trip! I'd recommend it to anyone considering going to Nova Scotia. It's also a really great place to stay if you come without a car because it's within walking distance... more

My gilrfriend and I were pleased by this beautiful (and very clean) house. Steps away from the good restaurants, grocery, etc. Our host suggested a few must-see and must-eat...thanks, they were great, he showed us the widow's-watch (in the addick), their garden. We had a nice quiet private room (why pay for a BB?). See you next year! Rémi (Québec) more

My group stayed here and they recieved excellent treatment. I can best describe this place as a charming bed and breakfast without the breakfast. The Yarmouth Backpackers is suprising for a hostel. I challenge anyone to find a better place to stay in the Yarmouth area at the price charged. I highly recommend this place. more

Probably the cleanest, homeliest hostel i've ever stayed. The owners have a wealth of knowledge on the area surrounding Yarmouth (ask about the best place to get a lobster from the fisherman). The dorm is airy and comfortable; the private rooms are more like a bed&breakfast than a hostel! Thanks for the hospitality... more

I needed a break from New Orleans, this was my first trip to Nova Scotia and my first stay at a hostel. It was a wonderful experience that I'll treasure forever! For one week, several of the other guests and I cooked gourmet meals in the kitchen - mussels, scallops, etc. The owners, who are truly kind, engaging and helpful,... more

I highly recommend this place! Cheap yet charming, clean, comfy and super friendly; this is a great place to meet fellow travellers or, should you wish, to escape for some of that much needed quiet time. Has a real homely feel. more

I spent one night here in August 2008 while traveling from Boston to Nova Scotia. Initially, approaching the walkway, I was impressed by the obvious care taken with landscaping - there were shells and beach rocks laid out in intricate patterns, and a very inviting-looking table on the porch, with a variety of board games and a couple of comfy... more

My boyfriend and I booked a private room at the hostel and really enjoyed our stay. The room was large with a very comfortable bed. The bathrooms were modern and clean. The owners very friendly and helpful. Free parking outside. Close to the centre of Yarmouth. Felt more like a B&B than a hostel as it was quite homely and... more
