The hostel is very centrally located and therefore a good starting point for trips inside Charlottetown, but as Charlottetown is central, for any kind of trip on PEI. At this time of the year, some students life there which creates an interesting mix. Levi's huge movie collection has surely something to offer if you're not up to going out in... More

The location of Charlottetown Backpackers Inn is perfect to see the sights in historic Charlottetown. The hostel itself is in a 1902 home, fixed up to be perfect for hostellers. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we were invited to take part in the weekly music trivia team event at a nearby pub. The fact that your luggage... More

I have stayed at many hostels and CBI in my opinion was one of the better ones. It is clean, safe and conveniently located in Charlottetown. The staff at CBI were great and the owner Levi was very accommodating. To guard my bike against theft, once it was in the bike box, Levi let me keep it in the house... More

HI Charlottetown is a quaint little heritage home with great staff. Well located close to the waterfront and minutes from nightlife.We felt very safe at all times. The garage is a great 1970s lounge area with pool table & vinyl records. Will stay here again the next time we come by PEI.

Spent two nights here in the private room. Staff and volunteers were very friendly and helpful--even went out of their way to provide breakfast when we had to leave early. Our schedule did not allow us to socialize as much, but they had nice indoor and outdoor spaces for doing so. Close to Visitor's Center, shops, restaurants, laundromat.

The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. If they did not know an answer to your question, they would find out and surprise you with the answer the next time they saw you. I slept in the girls attic dorm, up two flights of stairs (narrow); with four beds in the room, it was quite crowded and although the fans... More

As soon as we pulled up, we knew this one was a winner. Fun and friendly, this hostel is one of the best I've stayed in, with lots of room for hanging out. The rooms were pretty standard for HI hostels, and the staff were very friendly. I really liked the bathrooms, as they were very private. Breakfast was pretty... More
