Charlottetown Backpackers Inn in Charlottetown, PEI!

Charlottetown Backpackers Inn is the only place to stay if you're in Charlottetown. This was the third stop in my tour of East Canada and I felt instantly at home here. Within 5 mins I'd already been invited out to a staff dinner and felt super welcome. The place is awesome too. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy and the common room is a great place to sit, watch a video (yup they still have videos in circulation) and meet new friends. They've also got a secondary common room with a million records and a pool table if you're looking for a bit of a change. Make sure to get up for breakfast - Levi's chocolate and banana cake is legendary. Dorm rooms start from $32 for non-HI members. 

Here are just a few other reasons to stay at Charlottetown Backpackers Inn:
  • Instantly welcoming and a great place to explore PEI from
  • Enjoy regular impromptu activities with the staff including music trivia night (try it, you'll love it!)
  • Clean comfortable rooms
  • Free breakfast including banana cake, fruit, bread and coffee
  • Free wifi
  • Great communal areas for meeting people including two common rooms and an outside seating area Extremely comfy beds!
  • Super friendly staff and an extra friendly owner (Levi, you'll hear a story or two)
  • A place to make new friends
