Pictou welcomes backpackers. The town’s youth hostel is perfectly located in the centre of the festival season and the middle of Northumberland’s thriving pub, music, and arts scene. A night in a hostel can start as low as $15 per night - warm welcome, free parking, and big, shady backyard included.
For travellers who prefer a suitcase, but long for affordable overnight accommodations that are clean, safe, and centrally-located – booking a room in one of St. Francis Xavier University’s residences is a great option. The university is home to historic residences as well as some of the province’s newest, best designed residence buildings and apartments.
