Newport International Hostel in Alpujarras, USA

The hostess called me several times the day of check-in to see when I would get there I felt like I had another mother.She's very nice, just socially aggressive.Good price for off-season (winter) stays, and within walking distance of the popular wharf area.She also pointed out the best things to do in town, which was invaluable.

I was grateful this guest had a cell phone and kept in touch with me as he progressed on his drive to Newport from New York City. The hostel was empty that night except for him. Communicating with him in advance enabled me to take some much-needed time off before his arrival without worrying whether or not he would be standing at the hostel door and I wouldn’t be there to give him a warm New England welcome. The calls between us enabled me to assist him in finding the hostel by meeting him at a mutually agreed upon place in downtown Newport, at which time he followed me in his car to the hostel. He later told me he was very grateful I went out of my way to help him find the hostel in the dark. (Unfortunately I can’t give such personal service during the busy times of the year) Regarding his low rating of “fun”….This was not surprising given the fact he arrived after dark and left early the following morning. We both agreed that a few hours was too short of time for him to enjoy our beautiful City-by-the-Sea.

excellent experience! beautiful, clean home in a fantastic location. I enjoyed that they were single beds as opposed to bunk beds. The owner gave a thorough and interesting free walking tour that was lovely on a warm night under the full moon. The only tricky part was having to share a bathroom that was inside another bedroom however, I was able to use an upstairs bathroom for a shower. The owner was very thorough and organized with my reservation, making affordable site seeing and eating recomm Heather, from USA ~ 13th Oct 2011
