My friend and I arrived in Saint John late in the evening and had no planned accommodations. We called the Newman House Hostel where we spoke to the owner Sharon. She gave us directions to the hostel from our current location and made our beds. We arrived and were both very pleased by a clean and comfortable hostel. There was... More

I have stayed in over 110 hostels around the globe and I deem this one to be very unsafe and filthy. There was no staff until this teenage girl came around at 8am the next morning just to grab our money, she claims she stayed the night but in reality her three rabbits kept us up all night in the...

Thank you for your comments, Marie. I wish I had been here so you would not have had to deal with the bunnie situation. Due to a family illness, I had been with my granddaughter for an overnight period beginning on the day of your arrival. It was very unfortunate situation for you and your traveling companion. The boarding student... More

I'm not young anymore, and have some money in the bank. But I still crave adventure, local colour, and friendly strangers when I pass through a new place and decide to stay a while. In Canada, taxes are so high and so far-reaching that hotels have no choice but to rip people off. Value in the beautiful city of St.... More

I cannot recommend Newman House enough. As the name says, it's a house and not necessarily a hostel so it's cosier and more welcoming that your average accommodation. Sharon, the owner, is a fantastic hostess and constantly went the extra mile to make my stay more memorable. From giving me excellent maps, to bringing me on private tours of the... More

To be honest, the Newman House is more a B&B than a backpackers (except for the rates): it's small, it's clean, there is all sorts of stuff for breakfast and the hostess, Sharon, is a the best hostess you can imagine. She showed me all the sights on the map and gave me a lift to town (although it's just... More
