What is a hostel?

 

   Comfortable dormitory accommodations await you in the historic “William Gyles House”, located in the heart of Newport's famed Yachting Village where the town's cultural heritage is well preserved. Come experience the magic of our city by the sea - on foot or by trolly. Explore hundreds of years of American history or simply enjoy the waterfront with its wide variety of enticing restaurants and outdoor cafes, vibrant nightlife and eclectic shopping.

 

   Colonial Newport , located on the southern tip of beautiful Aquidneck Island, is a wonderful get-a-way after an exhilarating time in New York City or Boston. Click here for a sample itinerary to help you plan your stay.
