HOW THE HOSTELS ARE LISTED
The hostel information on
this website is continually updated to assure you of the most current information. This is
the most complete and accurate list of hostels and other similar accommodation in North
America. The listings are concise and include all the hostels. The listings are organized
as follows:
NAME OF HOSTEL
Address City, State or Province, Post Code

Text after some listings are comments provided by that hostel's management. The managers
provide these comments - expect them to fulfill their promises! These comments are not
editorial evaluations and are not referrals.
*S=Summer Only, B=Breakfast Included, tx=Tax
