Port Charlotte Youth Hostel 4 stars

Port Charlotte

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. Wonderful place. Hostel was clean, host was so helpful and friendly. I'm so glad that I booked here. Hostel is right infront of the sea so you can listen to the sound of wave at night. Bus stop is about 2 minutes far so easy to go to other side of the island. Also you can find out some useful items that other guests left at the corner of kitchen too. I'll be sure to visit here again. Already missing there!
