Detailed Reviews
Look, if you want a sparkling souless minimalist box, refitted with the latest plastic every 6 months then you should head for somewhere a few hundred miles south. The Arlington still has a sense of community, an expectation that people talk to each other and that not everything is an instagram opportunity. Sure, it looks old and the decor is tired. Sure the bathrooms are shared, but the food is top notch, the company is always willing to talk and the staff are wonderful.
We stayed two nights, everything was clean, everything worked, we watched films with the locals, read great books, ate fantastic pizza and had wonderful conversations with people. I wish more places were like this.

I was heading up north to pick up my kids from camp and wanted a place to stay to avoid the long drive the day of pick up. I arrived at the Arlington at 1:30 am, and the gentleman working at the front desk waited for me, which I greatly appreciated. My first impression was how much I loved the character of the place, its unique design, rustic and warm. When greeted, I was given towels and shown where the communal kitchen, washroom, and my room were. The house was quiet and peaceful; I slept like a baby. I had to leave early; there was no need to check out, drop your key in the key box, and go easy and smooth. Lastly, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely go back. I would love to spend more time there; quaint country shops and country views surround the location.

Lived in Maynooth from 1975-1985 and back for a reunion of sorts. Thought we we going to have to drive back to Bancroft but found the hotel is also a hostel. The rooms are clean, the is a kitchen to share, wireless, and great little breakfast spot across the road.

I wanted to do a couple of the hikes in Algonquin, but since I was solo I did not relish the thought of setting up camp. So, I did the next logical thing - I booked a couple of nights here. I was pleasantly surprised by the hostel! It is in an old building, seemingly basic on the outside, but quite lovely on the inside. The rooms are nice, as are the bathrooms and kitchen, and everything is very clean. There is also a sunny lounge area and a second-floor veranda you can sit out on and chill. The owner, Tom, was quite nice...very well-informed about the area and very enthusiastic about the abundance of activities. He has travelled extensively himself, so he is well-versed with the average budget traveller. I highly recommend this hostel to those wanting to visit the park on a budget without camping. The park itself is just gorgeous...my favourite hike was the Centennial Ridges Trail, which is about 10.5 kilometres. Just lovely! P.S. If you can, at least bring your basic stuff...the little store across the street from the hostel is quite expensive (but cute!).

Myself and a friend were travelling North America and decided to get the Greyhound from Toronto to Maynooth. We stepped off the coach and Algonquin backpackers was directly across the road.
Tom (the owner) was extremely helpful and looked after us the full 4 nights that we were there.
I miss Maynooth and Algonquin backpackers immensely. Our room was cute and comfortable. Very clean and welcoming.
Tom even took us canoeing, which was beautiful!!!

The kitchen and the bathrooms are very dirty and old.
The kitchen was small, and it was a mess with old food everywhere; in the fridge, on the table. Table was dirty, the cooking stuff looks like it's never washed.
Taps and showers in the washrooms are broken. The taps, where I wanted to get a drink, have only warm water. The showers have only cold water.
Also the rest of the building is old and dirty and the owner acted like he was surprised by our reports.

We needed an inexpensive place to stay for a few nights while visiting Algonquin Park - this was such a unique find!
Maynooth has lots of character - has a bit of a hippy vibe going for it - nice and laid back.
The Arlington was inexpensive, and pretty clean. Even though it wasn't the most modern facility, that added to the charm! The bathrooms in particular were spotless. There were lots of friendly folk around. The common areas were useful. There was a fun selection of movies and games. We will definitely be back.
The pub does not have much food - but you can buy basic groceries at the front desk and prepare them in the kitchen upstairs.

I have just completed five nights at the Arlington in Maynooth, Ontario. I was scheduled for two nights but ended up catching a flu so my travel plans changed. The Arlington was the perfect place to cocoon and recover. My room was clean, private and quiet. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and the tele lounge offered me a place to veg on the couch and watch tv when I felt like it - almost like being at home and ill. Bernie and the other staff are welcoming and accommodating -finding some tea for me and providing me an extra heater in my room when requested. I like staying in hostels - good ones - because of the interesting fellow travellers I meet. If you can handle stairs then I really recommend The Arlington at any age. The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms are clean and affordable. Maynooth and area is a gem waiting to be discovered - full of many kind souls and talented artists. I will be back to The Arlington and area again. Thank you Bernie for adding comfort and care to my stay.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Maynooth hostel originally only planning to stay for two or three nights. We ended up staying a week and wishing we didn't have to ever leave!! We had a wonderful experience and met some lovely people who we are still good friends with now. Our host Tom was lovely, very welcoming and unassuming. He made us aware of all that was available to do and took us on a day hike, canoeing and bike rides. He was very informative and we really enjoyed talking to him and taking in what he had to say about the area. The park itself is beautiful and we really felt as though we could spend all our time there. There is just so much to see and do!!!
The hostel has a calm homey feel to it and is well maintained and clean. The rooms are spacious and very affordable, only $18 a night. The kitchen is small but well equipped and has everything you need. The hostel is lovely - perfect for a romantic getaway or an exciting outdoor adventure!
I would definitely recommend staying here and I know that we will be back.
Thank you Tom for such a great time!!! :)
