HI Hyannis Hostel

This was the first time in recent years I've stayed in a hostel so I really did not know what to expect. To say it was near perfect is an understatement. The room was very clean and functional, the bathroom was cleaned and stocked with necessary supplies and the overall house and grounds were beautiful. Also, it is very convenient to the downtown Hyannis, Steamship Authority and Hy-Line ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Henning was especially friendly and helpful for the duration of my stay. I highly recommend this place as a travel option to Cape Cod.

I booked a single room and when I arrived, I noticed an overwhelming stench of body odor. The receptionist said that the room just needed airing out. In fact no, it was that one or more previous guests had slept on and sweated all over the blue and white quilt that looks so cute in the photo. The quilt and the pillow stank. All of the doors are on automatic door closers which may be a fire code requirement but they were set to "slam" closing mode. So as people came in to the room with multiple bunks next to my room late at night, one at a time, the door slammed after them, again when they went out to the bathroom (door slam) and came back from the bathroom (door slam). This went on from midnight to 3:00 am and then the doors started slamming from 6:00 am onward as people got up to catch

Gorgeous rooms and clean space. The staff was really friendly and the hostel is well located. Only con was the lack of lockers or anything to (safely) store your stuff.

Wonderful place with nice and helpful staff! If I go somewhere and I see HI hostels in the USA I trust it is the best hostel in the area and it has always been true! This place is very clean, homie, cozy, well located and nice in all way you would need there! 3 story house with reception, lobby, kitchen and restrooms on the first floor and beds on the second. Everything nice and organized. Highly recommend! Had a great time and meet nice people. Will return if I happen to be in Hyaenas again. One thing I would add is more space for personal items.

I stayed here with three family members in June 2024 (June 27 to 30). It was an absolute pleasure. There were three different staff members who were on duty at this time, and each one of them was so incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. They all did everything to make our stay pleasant and make sure we had everything we needed, answering all our questions. The whole place is so well run, clean, and comfortable. It is so nicely furnished, with comfortable areas for sitting, eating, conversing (while seeing amazing harbor views from the main living room and from the enclosed front porch). There are also various nooks where you can sit alone with a laptop, have a quiet conversation for 2 or 3, etc. The kitchen is well outfitted with whatever you need to cook or prepare your meals. Peop
