We stayed here recently for two nights mostly because of the experience hostelling has offered to us before. It was our first time at NotSo hostel, so we expected to have the same good feelings about it. We got a private room, but they also offer bunks as well. Overall, the hostel seemed average from the looks of it, but... More

We stayed one night in this hostel, and really enjoyed ourselves. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were very adequate for our needs. The complimentary breakfast selection was really good, and the shared living room area with books, dvds etc was a really nice touch. All the staff were friendly and super helpful, and we met some really nice people at... More

This was my first hostel experience and I was not impressed the beds were old noisy and uncomfortable. There was broken glass in my window and the bathrooms were filthy. Would not stay there again. For my money best western or another real hotel is a much better value.

This place is definitely the best value in Charleston. We searched for a hotel, BB, anything less than $180/night (with a decent rating), and found nothing. We always came back to this, and glad we chose to stay. Our room was in the annex, which was perfect. Quiet, clean, very clean shared bath, easy access, etc. Tips: stay away from... More

I was happy to stay at the Not So Hostel Annex and would gladly stay again for a few reasons: the value is unbeatable, the location is great, free off-street parking, excellent air conditioning, the facilities are fairly clean and well-maintained and the staff was professional and helpful. A few things to bear in mind: the bed was a contradictory... More

This place was incredible! I stayed in the Victoria Room in the main house. It was clean and safe and in a good part of town. The staff was very kind and informative about the area and gave us good tips on where to go and what to do. The hostel was a fun and unique experience. I highly recommend... More

It's a hostel, so it's not super quiet or super fancy but perfect for me! I was in on Tuesday out on Wednesday no problems. Easy check in, nice people. I budget travel for business (beer business)... So I will be back

I stayed in the India room in the back house during my stay. I thought it would be quiet since it is in the back. However, it is attached to the kitchen and despite quiet hours beginning at 10 pm, the kitchen was used by the dorm room denizens as their hang out space until quite late. Outside of the... More

I had a great trip to Charleston for the Alumni weekend. I stayed at the hostel because of the extreme difference in cost from traditional B&B's versus this one. The total cost for my weekend stay was less than one night at a B&B around the corner. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a little adventure,... More
