HI - Hyannis

Nice, helpful staff at the HI-Hyannis hostel. The hostel is a great alternative to hostels or hotels in Boston or Falmouth, if you miss the last boat to the Vineyard. It's quieter, smaller, and less expensive than the HI hostel in Boston. It's a fairly short walk from the Hyannis Transportation Center, but I suggest taking a taxi if you have heavy luggage. I took the Plymouth and Brockton bus from Logan Airport, and then the CCRTA bus to Woods Hole, after spending the night at the hostel. The building is old, but appears to be maintained. My metal bunkbed was comfortable, if a little squeaky every time I turned. Would have preferred a comforter-style cover (more common in European hostels) rather than the blue synthetic fleece blanket provided. The complimentary breakfast was not atypical for an American hostel: cereals, instant oatmeal, toast, some fruit. Coffee, tea, and milk were available. Nice eating area and well-kept hostel kitchen. I would stay at the hostel again and recommend it to others.

Stayed here many times over years. Hostel was not as clean as usual. Reported no soap in a bathroom but it was never refilled. I brought my own towel but it was taken. In there defense the color was very similar to issued towels. This is first time staff did not make homemade granola.
