 Driving in to The Park from
The Bug... by Orbital_ |
 | |  |
Reception was a bit cold upon a late arrival and at night it was difficult to find your way around the place but other than that I found it a great place to stay.
A lot of travellers from all age groups all looking to enjoy and explore nature. Dorm rooms were reasonable sized although not much place to put luggage. But there was a bathroom attached which was clean and spacious. People staying in the dorms were entitled to use the kitchen which was well equipped.
A step up from dorm beds was a permanent tent that sleeps four for a bit extra. And then there were private cabins with bathrooms as well.
In the communal kitchen there is internet access although it was very expensive and tended not to work all the time.
The hostel is a way out from the park entrance but buses would pick you up in front and by car it took about 20 mins.
It also had food and bar services, with a nice cosy fireplace, lounges and boardgames.

a large, inviting dining room and a hostel that's comfortable and welcoming, resembling a large camping ground rather than a hotel. The rooms are tidy and clean and a great value, and there are many delightful trails and quiet areas around the complex. you'll encounter more than your fair share of international travellers and hippies here, it's highly recommended!
the cafe really does have excellent food like they say... it's organic and vegetarian food that isn't boring, and i'm surprised they can serve such tasty and quality food for such low prices!

Great place to stay, inexpensive, clean, warm and not too far from the park. You can take the YARTS bus from right in the front of the property if you dont want to drive to the park. We stayed 4 nights (4 people in a "family cabin" and only spent $180. There's a community kitchen there for guests use and we cooked all our own meals and saved a bundle. I recommend this place when visting Yosemite on a budget.

 The bug!!! Aiiieeeee!! by Karnubawax
Pros - The food really is as good as everyone says. The top sirloin is excellent as is just about everything else on the menu (except the buckwheat pancakes - yuck!). The cheesecake is heavenly! Even if you're not staying here, I'd come just for the food and the atmosphere. They will also make you a bag lunch for your excursions out - sandwich, trail mix & apple or $6 - still a little cheaper (and a LOT tastier) than you'll get in the Park. The main lodge is comfy and a fun place to hang out and read or play games or whatever. The room was very comfy and clean (with 6 Monet's and a Van Gogh!), and there were ample bathrooms and showers.
Cons - See above. You may have to put up with rowdy teens on occasion, just grin and bear it. The rooms under the lodge get some foot noise, but the air conditioner noise is more bothersome. Though there is bus service to YNP, the hostel is a good quarter mile from the road. Uphill. The buckwheat pancakes were the only real dud on the menu. But really, aside from the reservation snafu, I enjoyed the bug very much and will probably go back!

 Yosemite Bug Hostel by mht_in_la
What I liked about the hostel:
1. inexpensive ($16 for a dorm bed in 2002)
2. relatively clean
3. nice restaurant
4. internet (for a small fee)
What I disliked about the hostel
1. still 30 miles from the valley
2. parking lot can be crowded
3. although it's right by highway 140, it's a little hard to find
I didn't take a photo of the Hostel. The attached photo was taken from its official website. It shows the hostel's main dining hall.
