The ‘Not So Hostel’ consists of an enclave of three classic Charleston houses built in the 1840s - all with inviting double porches oriented to catch the sea breeze.

The hostel is fully air-conditioned with dorm and private rooms. Bathrooms
and kitchen are shared. The taxes are not included in the prices listed on this site.

There are spacious common areas: a lounge with high speed internet
access, couches, games, books, a modern stereo and TV, porches with hammocks and flowers, a fully-stocked kitchen with basic cooking needs (sugar, flour, oil etc) and ever-changing free food, a coin operated laundry facility; and a large back yard complete with
palmetto trees, cats, and a vegetable garden.

‘Not So Hostel’ is within walking distance of downtown attractions,
easily accessible from the highways and interstate that cross this area, and
has bus lines running in all four cardinal directions within a block of
the front-door.

In a sweet Southern drawl and in many other American dialects, the words 'hostile'
and 'hostel' are homonyms; that is, they're said the exact same way. A
‘Not So Hostel’ is not so hostile as your regular ol' hostel, see? Our motto at the ‘Not So’ might be 'just so long as you're comfortable.'

So kick back on a hammock and think about summertime.
