Not So Hostel

Housed mainly in a wonderful 1840 dwelling complete with atmospheric blue porches and an odd, twin-matching architecture setup, Charleston's one hostel is creaky and inviting. A couple of eight-bed co-ed dorms, various four-bed male and female dorms, and nice but cramped private rooms (some with private baths) are spread over three buildings, with guest kitchens throughout. Green initiatives abound.
