Hostel Of Maine

What guests think

Hostel Of Maine earns strong praise for its welcoming staff, homelike vibe, and clean, well maintained spaces, offering a beautiful wooded setting near Sugarloaf with comfortable private rooms and bunk options that suit families, hikers, and skiers.

Guests frequently highlight the tasty breakfast and convenient access to nearby towns and amenities. A recurring drawback is the lack of air conditioning, with upper floors getting hot in warm weather. Expect a warm, lodge style base for mountain trips.

I was a little skeptical about a shared bunk room, but the place ended up being wonderful. The property is very new and nice, bathroom was perfect, everything felt clean and new. The staff (Justin) was awesome, very friendly and accommodating. I was there for Sugarloaf marathon and they provided us a pasta dinner and late checkout for all of us.

I think sometimes the word hostel has some bad connotations but. this was the most beautiful bed and breakfast like property I've ever been in and the staff was extremely welcoming helpful and friendly. You feel like you're coming home after a adventurous day on the mountains.

Beautiful log cabin ski lodge type place, in middle of quiet woods.; just lovely. Unfortunately no one was around when I tried to check in at 4:30, there was just a “call this number if you need help” but nobody answered - so not a great check in. Also they need air conditioning on upper floor- was sweltering. And they say alcohol must be bought from them, but won’t sell wine by the glass, only by the bottle. These things added up to a bit of a disappointing stay.

I hadn't stayed in a hostel since my youth. I wasn't sure what to expect. My travel was short-notice due to a family emergency and this hostel was the halfway point. It exceeded all expectations! The staff was warm and welcoming, the facilities were clean, accommodating and welcoming. I felt at home, is the best way to express how I felt. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Melanie and Justin were wonderful hosts, and Zack welcomed us so nicely. The property and private room we had were all incredibly well maintained, and for a busy hostel, they were able to make us feel like we were coming home after a long day of travel. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and our young children were welcomed and had a great time. Wish we were able to stay longer!

The hostel of Maine was absolutely beautiful. However, it did have some strange rules like no shoes when you come inside. It also did not have a laundry spot where I could do my laundry. They had a laundry service which I did not feel comfortable using. I prefer to do my own laundry. There was absolutely no air conditioning and the heat was unbearable. All in all, if you're looking for a eco-friendly place with no air conditioning, no TV, then this is the spot for you.
