This is probably the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed at. I work for a non-profit, and our budget is limited; Burlington Hostel was a great place to stay for the conference I attended at a nearby hotel. It is quiet and there is a comfortable area for reading, working, etc.

Stayed in early October 2012.. Absolutely perfect--clean, non-party vibe, quiet yet friendly fellow travellers, location near every thing, price can't be beat. Love the shoes off @ door policy. Felt totally safe as solo mature female traveller. Olga and her husband are wonderful hosts and make you feel at home. Lots of travel brochures, lockers and great living room area... More

To Brian and Olga and their wonderful staff: Thank you for taking such good care of me during my recent stay in the Burlington Hostel. Not only did you offer a cost effective alternative to the pricey nearby downtown hotels, but your facility was clean and comfortable and inviting in decor. Great location to the downtown core, Church street, festivals,... More

The Burlington Hostel is a great place to stay for travelers on a limited budget, or those who want to meet some international visitors during their stop. I stayed for a couple of nights in early August to kill some time, and was very pleasantly surprised. Brian and Olga established the hostel a few years ago on the second floor... More

I wouldn't bother looking at the ratings for this place as I promise you The Burlington Hostel won't be like any other place you have ever stayed - instead read this brief review to get an idea. What's different to other hostels? 1) Most importantly (and strangely), every single day, all guests are kicked off the premises for FOUR hours... More

i booked a night in this unique hostel during a bike trip around Vermont. When I made the reservation the confirmation email said that they understood that travel by bike was difficult to time precisely, so they volunteered to be extra flexible if any change was required. Cool. I ended up getting there when I had planned anyway, and the... More

super clean. the staff is friendly and gives great food and activity advice. conveniently located to town and nice hiking and bike paths. definitely recommend!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights and the first thing we noticed when checking in was their set of rules on the wall. They were so aggressive, which was ironic because they market themselves as relaxed and carefree. One of the rules read something like "the fun is at Church St, if you're noisy or drunk you... More

This hostel is great, super friendly staff, very clean and enough waffles to put you into a sugar induced coma every morning! The only down side is that there are few walls, most divisions between rooms made with curtains which creates this quite bizzarre need for all guests take a unspoken vow of silence! It is eerily quiet at times... More
