The staff is wonderful, cheerful, and helpful, and the breakfasts quite generous. The location is delightful, very private and quiet. But the cabins are very rustic, the beds squeak every time someone turns, and the bathrooms are in the main building, which means you have to leave the cabin to use the bathroom at night--very inconvenient! The "lounge" is also uninviting and uncomfortable. I know it's the Cape where everything is expensive, but given the lack of comfort, this hostel is overpriced.

I'm very glad that this hostel was not lost in the brouhaha a ocuple of years ago. It is just the right distance from Provincetown for a comfortable bike ride when arriving on the ferry from Boston in midafternoon. The hostel has been nicely refurbished.

Map & Directions
Street Map and Route Planning
Directions
| Bus: | [from Hyannis or Provincetown, take the Plymouth & Brockton bus to the Orleans rotary. (Do not go to Eastham!) When you board the bus, tell the driver you need to get off on the Orleans rotary (roundabout) at the Rock Harbor exit; drivers will do this during daylight hours. From the rotary, turn left onto Rock Harbor Road. Then turn right onto Bridge Road. Turn right onto Goody Hallet Drive. The hostel driveway will be on your left. The walk from the rotary to the hostel is about 0.75 mi (~1.2 km). If you will arrive by bus, it is critical that you arrive before dark as the walk to the hostel is along a road with no sidewalk. It is certainly safe to walk to the hostel, but only during full daylight. (There is no taxi service in Orleans.) Leave Hyannis on the 4:30pm bus (or earlier). To make that connection: leave Boston on the Plymouth & Brockton bus by 2:15pm or New York City on the 9:30am Peter Pan bus. |
