    I recently stayed at a hostel in a wonderful location on San Juan Island. My purpose was to explore the area for a few days. The hostel was centrally located near restaurants and shopping, with parking right outside. The private room and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Despite the slightly higher cost, it was still a great value compared to other accommodations on the island. The hostel also had a large kitchen and lounge area for shared use, making it easy to connect with other travelers.

    I do recommend this hostel.

    We loved the location of San Juan Island Hostel. The kitchen was spacious and provided ample room to cook. The common area was a great place to relax with a pool table, games, and large TVs. Our Quadruple room had plenty of space for our group of five and even had a sink in the room, which was a nice bonus. The mattresses on the beds were comfortable and the room overall was clean. The one staff person we interacted with was responsive to our needs.

    Convenient location in the heart of the town with nearby brewery and amenities. Clean private room and shared bathroom, although some spots could have been cleaner. Efficient check-in, even after hours. New hostel with comfortable mattresses, nice towels, and hot showers. Well-equipped large kitchen and common area with pool table and TVs. a great option for exploring the area.

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel on San Juan Island. The value for money was great and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect as it was within walking distance of everything I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast menu could have been improved by offering a wider variety of options.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The private room was clean, comfortable, and worth the price. The bathrooms were also well-maintained. We loved the convenient location - we could park right out front and easily walk to all the main attractions in town. The hostel provided a large kitchen and lounge area for shared use, which was a great bonus. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay even better.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    The hostel is conveniently located, with downtown shops within walking distance and easy street parking. The check-in process was efficient, even after hours. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and nice towels and sheets. The hostel also offers a large gathering area with cooking facilities and storage. One reviewer mentioned the soft blankets and hairdryers as nice amenities.

    There were a few cleanliness issues in the bathrooms and hallway, with mold on the ceilings and a need for a deep cleaning. One reviewer mentioned stained pillowcases and sheets.
