Bank Street Hostel

Fodor's Review:

This independently owned hostel is downtown's best bargain. It's on the edge of the historic district in a 140-year-old factory that has been combined with two neighboring buildings. Dormitory-style rooms, segregated by gender, have enough bunk beds to accommodate 70 people. Guests often gather around the pool table and watch nightly videos in the common area. The facility is a member of Hostelling International.

  • Hotel Details: 70 beds
  • In-room: no phone, kitchen, no TV.
  • Credit Cards: MC, V
