Thank you so much to the lovely hosts (Lisa and Neil). I loved that the hostel was so close to the train station, that it was sparklingly clean, that I had a lovely view from my room, that the kitchen facilities were everything I needed and more! Also that I could do laundry there, that a good variety of restaurants were so close--just down the main street, and that my hosts were so generous with their local knowledge. Thank you again for a lovely visit! I will happily stay there again!

Featuring free WiFi, Port Charlotte Youth Hostel offers accommodation in Port Charlotte. Free private parking is available on site.

The nearest airport is Islay Airport, 25 km from Port Charlotte Youth Hostel. I loved this hostel! The staff and guests were extremely friendly; it’s obvious they care about their guests and experiences of fellow travelers. I’ve stayed at youth hostels all over the world and I would 110% recommend this place. I’m GF and showed up the weekend before they closed yet they went above and beyond and made sure I was taken care of. They really exceeded my expectations. Great location, staff, accommodations, you name it. I’m 36 YO and sorta fretted over the youth part but this place was amazing. I really hope to be back! THANK TOU!!!
