Hostels USA: Given four stars. "If its a green, friendly hostel you want, then this is the place.....the 36 bed farmhouse is a great place to stay....location is also great, and (staff) will help you find the best deals on everything from mountain biking clinics to ice cream cones to kayak rentals."
Moon Travel Books: "...cheapest four walls in the valley, and the atmosphere is casual and inviting."
Let's Go USA: Given the Thumbs Up award!
Arthur Frommer: Conveniently situated near the center of Conway Village, the Lester Hostel is the best choice for those traveling on a shoestring but not enamored of camping. Rooms in this gracious farmhouse are set up hostel-style and accommodate 45 people (some private family rooms are available). Not only will you save money here, but the congenial atmosphere offers a great way to swap tips on area trails and bike rides with newfound friends.
