Hostelling International Niagara Falls

Quietly adrift in the old town, this homey, multicolored hostel sleeps around 90 people. The facilities, including a sizable and well-stocked kitchen, pool table, lockers and cool basement lounge, are in good shape; staff are friendly and eco-focused. It's close to the train and bus stations, and bikes are available for rent. Rates drop a bit in the winter.
