My time at Dave's hostel was an experience along my Canadian journey that I will look on with some of the most fond memories of all. Located along the bay in Fort William, I found the hostel to be in great proximity to a wide range of unforgettable hikes (Signal Hill, Quidi Vidi, Dead Man's Trail, Fort Amherst), fantastic live music (I danced so… read more

I stayed in Dave's hostel in January/February 2023 and it was quite the experience! Since it was winter there were not many travelers in town, so the hostel was mainly filled with long time dwellers of all possible ways of life. Not your typical hostel experience, but all people were super friendly, it was very interesting and there was always… read more

I had a great time at this hostel. I spent here six weeks. The work was easy and the people around were amazing. You have a lot of time to explore St. John´s. The hostel is lovely and clean. Just a great place to stay. Dave, the owner, is very helpful and friendly. St. John´s is a fantastic place to meet new people. I will miss this place.

I spent 5 amazing months working for Dave as manager in the hostel from June to November 2919. I met some of the most amazing people and had a great work away experience.

This was my first WorkAway experience and I had such an amazing time. Whilst Dave doesn't work at the hostel day-to-day, he is friendly, always easy to reach and he encourages you to get out and see more of the island.The work is split over 2 days, so whilst the days are longer, it gives you 5 free days to explore. I was lucky to visit a few… read more

I had a wonderful time at the hostel when I stayed there for one month in March. Since it was off-season, we had very little work to do and therefor plenty of time to go and discover St John's and the nature surrounding it. Everything you need is in walking distance and even the east coast trail is easy to reach. The closest hiking trails are only… read more

I stayed about a month in St Johns. The hostel is lovely, typical of the area, small and friendly. The job is easy. Dave was very helpful and generous. The area is so cute. I will remember this place forever. Newfoundland is a great place, I just wish to come back in summer.

I spent about six weeks volunteering at the hostel and loved every minute! The location is awesome and the people are even awesomer. I did maintenance work, mostly painting and some yard work. The work expected from volunteers is very reasonable. The owner is a gem of a human being as well. It was hard to leave and I already want to go back!

I had the best time working at HI CITY HOSTEL. The people who work there really take care of you. If you put in the hours and work hard, then the experience is twice as rewarding. You can go on any of their tours (Whale watching, Mistaken Point etc.) for free if you have the day off. I met some great friends, and life changing experiences.
