Sadly it was not quiet when I stayed here. The hostel was full and many people trickled in on. A Friday night between 10pm- 12am. Lots of loud talking in front of the rooms and talking down the hallways to others who in the common room. Noisy people in the common room. I wouldn’t recommend Room#1 - it’s right beside the common rooms and kitchen and you hat everything. Beds are on the harder sister. Based on other accommodations in the area, not sure the cost justified the experience. Cleanliness was excellent and its a cute place - just not great for a single person I guess.

Riding Fool Hostel never disappoints. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. Rooms and washrooms are clean and well stocked. The only issue we had, given the warm seasonal temperatures, was that the rooms were uncomfortably hot at night. Fans were available however, they were not quite enough to keep the air flowing. Maybe an unreasonable suggestion but a vent at bottom of door and top of door frame would likely assist in drawing in the air-conditioned air from the common areas. Otherwise, amazing stay as usual. See you next year!

A great stay in the heart of Cumberland

Riding Fool is a hidden gem. Located on the main street in Cumberland, there are great restaurants, a brewery, a bakery and a great bar located all within a block or two. The trails are a short ride down the street. Rooms are very clean, bathrooms are clean and located close to the rooms. A great stay.
