Great value

A well run hostel with all that you need for a comfortable stop over. Friendly and welcoming staff. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare your food. Fans are available for those warmer days and nights.

A fun hostel with lots of character! Staff was friendly and helpful, and the property had lots of charm. Bear in mind, it is a hostel, not a hotel; if you aren't used to staying in a hostel, this is not the place for you. Local breakfast places are incredible. We would stay here again.

The Purple Palace is a gem. Bring friends.

Great spot. Great cool hostel experience. Great service , super clean. An excellent base for exploring Algonquin park solo or with friends. The video is chill with a bit of rock n roll. Roland will treat you right. Great attention to detail in following the rules and setting up out side. Civilized beer and local tips abound. I will be back.

We enjoyed watching the sunset from the common room on the third floor. A good place for an overnight especially when cold and rain did not make camping attractive.

Very closed to Algonquin Park, but there is literally no sound blocking system in place . We can hear everything, from next door's family conversation to front desk's check in, to everybody walking to the bathroom at dawn, to people walking and running at the hall and upstairs. Bring ear plugs.

10月始めにりようしましたが、周りには何もないせいか宿泊客が3人だけでした。2階にバストイレは2つだけ。混んでたら奪い合いかも。施設は古いけど値段を考えると十分です。

I would have given a better review if I were provided with towels. There were no towels provided! Overall conditions of the Hotel is fairly good. I think with this price, the Hotel offers decent facilities.

There aren’t many hostels in this part of the world and this one does it really well. People and service are very nice. My stay was on a Friday and it was open mic night at the bar. The small crowd was super friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed my stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not too pricey if you can stand the smell

Only saw the hotel staff once at checkin. It was quiet. However the smell was a bit much, it make you feel the hotel is not clean. The smell is probably due to poor ventilation, and the age of the building. The bathrrom garbage was filled to the top and the bag was not changed. The overall feel was a bit awkward.

Good way-point to/from Algonquin Provincial Park

Small friendly, hostel environment with a nice communal kitchen (fridge, oven, toaster and prep sink) and separate common room where there are lots of VHS videos to play on the TV as well as some board games. There is a small general store/gas station across the road at which one can get basic supplies but the closest town is Bancroft, approximately 12 miles away. There is a pub on the main floor and the hostel is on the second and third floors. If the pub is hopping (think weekends), you'll enjoy the music no matter where you are in the building. :-) The communal shower needs a bit of work and should be improved as the property goes forward. While these are not luxurious accommodations, the property is a welcome way-point coming from (or going to) nearby Algonquin Park. Other properties in the general area (i.e., Bancroft of Haliburton) are often at least double (or triple) the price...but then you get the on-suite facilities, in-room TV and so on.

Interesting place

First night was great, quiet, comfortable bed. Second night, the bar had a band so was a bit noisy. Other guests could be heard at all hours of the night, last at 4:23AM, so not much sleep.
