This is one of the best hostels (guest houses) I have ever stayed
in in my whole 10 years of backpacking. The hostel (guest house)
is extremely clean, quiet, and the location is excellent. Thanks
Arthur for your warm welcome, and I will definiitely stay there
again if ever I have a chance to visit the beautiful Salt Lake
City. Keep it up!!!

I was there for 2 days...
very private for a hostel (guest house). For me, the place was better than any
hotel I've ever stayed at. I felt right at home. Also, they have
free WiFi.

Good price for your own room. Staff were helpful and felt safe...
Very good value for money though if you're staying in Salt Lake
City.

perfect! The door guy was courteous and rather informative and
the amenities were more than I had expected!... All in all, great
place and I will be referring to friends!

Security features were great. I had never experienced something
like that before. Same with the self check-in. I was a bit nervous
about communicating any messages or problems to staff, but the
only time I needed to, it ran smoothly.

I had a great long term stay at Camelot. I had a very comfortable
room with lots of windows. it was quiet and I was always able
to study without any interference. I stay here again in a heartbeat.
If i ever visit SLC again, Ill be sure to stay here, and Id recommend
to anyone who is passing through here. Thank you so much for hospitality!

I want to say that this has been an amazing experience. This
house has been so nice to come home to after my conference.
It was perfect walking distance to Downtown and I loved coming
back here instead of staying at a hotel. Plus all the money
I saved by staying here made my trip that much more relaxing.
It is nice and quiet here and I loved the experience. I appreciate
what you have created and thank you for an incredible stay.
I encourage everyone coming to SLC to stay at one of Arthur's
Hostels. Truly a unique experience compared to staying with
the mass of people downtown. Awesome! I recommend this to
everyone!!!
Thank you again!

Very good and comfortable! Recommended! I had a very good experience
staying here, the place is very clean, comfortable and quiet,
and with a great price. I had absolutely no problems and everything
was as advertised. It is located in a good place, and you feel
very safe being there. The owners are very helpful and good. Absolutely
recommended if you visit Salt Lake City, and I would definitely
stay again.

It was clean, bathrooms were clean, we got a private room. Close
to a lot of restaurants and stores... it was fine for one night's
stay. Overall, great if you are looking for a cheap place to stay
for the night in Salt Lake City.

What a great introduction to Salt Lake City! I had a very pleasant
stay at the Camelot. The room and facilities were excellent and
very clean. The location can't be beat. Automated check-in is
unique and easy. I will recommend this great value to my friends
in Kentucky. Many thanks.

Arthur and his mother were there prepping the room for me
when I arrived. I was a little early for check in, but they
were kind and personable and let me hang out in the common
area until my room was ready. The self check in was very easy
and there are signs everywhere that help you along the way.
It was great. The room was clean and came with everything
listed in the description. I was worried because I came traveling
with quite a bit of luggage in my move across the country
and there were no locking foot lockers included in the rooms,
but the rooms are very very secure and safe. I stayed for
two days and had my laptop and lots of other valuables in
the room every time I went out to explore or meet with friends
and I wasn't worried about it at all. Very safe and secure
building. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever
return to Salt Lake City.
Thank you for everything!

122) Great place to stay for the night, we were only there between 11pm and 6am, but everything worked out great ... good place to crash on a long drive.
Jordan Bernhardt (CG)
Oregon, USA
121) I was looking for a place to stay for 1 or two weeks while I was trainning for my new job in Salt Lake City, but I didn t have the time to find a place because I was always at work, so I stayed at the guest house the first week...but I liked it so much, that I stayed for 5 weeks total, everything was great, the place was clean every single day; Bathrooms kitchen, all the areas clean all the time, my room was fantastic for the price, best thing the train was across the street from the house, all the clubs and fun places in downtown, couple of block away from the house, so I was able to walk everywhere from there, the people in charge of the place, extremely nice, I will always remember this sweet lady, Isabel...she used to come everymorning and do things around the house, I even learned some portuguese with her...and the people who stayed in the house made it even better, college students, lots of europeans on vacations, very very nice people...so what can I say..I had a great time at the guest house I recommended 100%.

116) I stayed for two months at the 17S hostel (Guest House) and I
just came back home...I was happily surprised by the hostel. I
was only looking for a cheap and quiet place to stay and I found
a very fine room. Free internet was definitely useful as it allowed
me to work during my holidays. The room was clean and quiet, not
far from the trax station or a supermaket...you and your parents
were very helpful every time I was asking. I will try to come
back to SLC this summer and that will definitely be the first
place I'll look to stay.

Douglas Grunwald (8S)

111) ...Very quiet. Got a single room for 28 dollars with a clean bathroom
right next door and plenty of hot water. Short tram ride from
the city center. I'd recommend it as a cheap and convenient place
to stay with good value for your money...

I really do appreciate the fact there was a place like this
available at a very crucial time in my life. I was evicted
from my apartment due to the fact I was staying with an irresponsible
roommate who I thought was a good friend. Well anyways I can't
say enough about how grateful I am to run across Camelot,
it has really been a blessing in my life. It's in a very convenient
spot for me and it's close to my work. I really am grateful
an appreciate everything.

I was very satisfied with my stay at Camelot house. All I
wanted was a bed to sleep in, a bathroom, and fridge. I appreciated
the security features and felt safe there. Location was convenient...
Would definitely stay there again. Good value.

For my recent move to Salt Lake City, The Jefferson House
was instrumental in my making a quick transition to permanent
housing. Unbelievably convenient, clean, and incredibly reasonably
priced. Wonderful downtown location, steps from Trax, free
close by parking. Perfectly working WIFI, cable TV connection
in the room, a kitchen that (for me) was always open and available.
For me, Arthur and his beautiful concept was absolutely key
to my move to Salt Lake City. I'll never forget my wonderful
experience at The Jefferson House.
Matthew Roger Cary (JG)

It was wonderful to be able to check in within minutes. The room
and bathroom were very clean. They had a fantastic kitchen with
a microwave, coffeemaker, refrigerator, laundry. So if I wanted
to, I could have had breakfast there. And, it was 2 minutes walking
from a TRAX station. I took the TRAX everywhere.
Gauri Wable (8S)

The facilities, people, and cost at Camelot are the very best.
I will gladly stay again when my travels bring me to Salt Lake
City.
Michael Robison (8S)

Great place! Everything worked the way it was supposed
to. It's a quiet place, but the people were very nice and
the location is right around the great Salt Lake City bus
line. If you are going to be out all day and need a bed at
night, then this is the place for you.

I am writing an article on 'Cheap Ski" (how to ski on the
cheap) and will
submit it for publication to SKI, SNOW, etc magazines, who will
then
publish it for their 2009 ski season. I am including information
on the Camelot, which I like...it is clean,
nice people, with alot of facilities that even the most expensive
hotels
don't have, i.e. refrigerator, micro-wave, washer and dryer, computer
and
fax access...

Overall, an awesome stay. Helpful staff, amazing people. Temporary

I liked the Camelot Guest House very much and I recommend
it to all travellers, who are going to SLC. It is not far
from the downtown - I walked there and I liked the quiet atmosphere
in the house. Thank you very much!

I think this is so secure hostel (guest house) I have ever seen.
It has been protect by cameras and technologies that you may never
seen in other hostel... Everything goes good and I recomended
this place to stay for a night. The toilets is clean.
Jaruphat Panprommin (8S)

Far exceeded my expectations- My stay at the hostel (guesthouse)
was most memorable. The concierge, Joshua, was extremely friendly
and helpful, even at times when he wasn't scheduled to be
on duty. Management has done a good job of excluding the local
near-homeless population that sometimes plaque urban hostels.
Fellow travelers were most interesting and excellent company.
The facilities were first rate for budget accommodations,
among the best I've ever seen. The bathrooms were extremely
clean and numerous. The kitchen facilities (including an oven
for baking!) allowed me to prepare my meals everyday. I highly
recommend this facility to everyone (and in fact I've told
many people staying elsewhere in the area what a gem this
place is). Should I have the opportunity to return to SLC
in the future, I won't even consider staying anywhere else.
George Maston (8S)

I want to tell you that I really have a good impression of the
guest houses that I stayed at recently. The price, the location,
the system to control access (quick check-in computers), were
all good. I will recommend it to friends and would not hesitate
to stay there in the future.

I would recommend this hostel (guest house) to anyone traveling
through salt lake. It was in an easy location to the UTE (bus

I stayed in all three guest houses (Camelot Guest House, Camelot
Hostel,
and Jefferson Guest House) for a total of 2 months during summer
of 2007
and I really enjoyed my stay there. The rooms are very clean and
spacious. I can highly recommend it and I hope that I can spend
my next
2 months there next year.

This hostel (guest house) was the first one that I have ever
stayed at and it was wonderful. It is only a mile away from
downtown Salt Lake and it is so easy to get to anything. The
staff was very helpful and very hospitable.

This is the perfect hostel (Guest House) for someone who is looking

You can use TRAX to go to downtown, can reach 7-eleven in
2mins by foot. not that bad as the cheap hostel. I liked
their self check-in system. feel so free.

The place is run entirely absentee, which was a bit strange,
but it's immaculate and has great facilities (especially the sauna-shower!)
and is overall a very good place to stay.
Virginia Tice (8S)

It's so safe.... it's like a bunker, you can be sure that
you're in a safe area. The security system is a bit difficult,
but so secure. And also it's so clean and you have the possibility
to cook, and to have cold drinks, and food.
Carlos Rico (8S)

Very clean and good location. A nice place to meet interesting

Ya-Mei Chang (8S)

73) You're self check-in system is AMAZING. As I said, 90%
of my time is spent away from home. If all hotels had this system
in place, it would ease the weary traveller... It's also attractive
for the business traveler too. My trips to Utah are not covered
by my employer. Spending the money on a local apartment is also
unrealistic. Why spend $800/mo on a place you're never at - right?
George Fisher (8S)

...We had a great stay. The video game machine was a lot of
fun, and the room was ready for us. Guidelines (including
check-in and check-out) were clear, and I liked that we could
check-in, even though we got there very late.

Very clean place, a bit strange checking in without seeing

Another great stay at the 800 South Guesthouse! The service here
is consistently good and the location can't be beat. Forget about
those other hostels on the list and stay here when you are in
Salt Lake.
Jason Silverman (8S)
Oregon, USA

This hostel (800 S Guest House) is one of the best I have
ever stayed in. It has a nice modern look on the inside, check-in
is easy, the common areas are clean and the management are
easy to get a hold of if you need something. The best part
is it is a 3 minute walk from the city light rail line. I
would stay here again for sure.
Jason Silverman (8S)
Oregon, USA |
68) I did enjoy my stay to the uttermost- The hostel (800
South Guest House) is neat, tidy and user-friendly. The host lists
clear instructions that everything is in good hand. I enjoy sitting
in the living room and chatting with the friends I just made there.
There was a TRAX station and a 7-11 convenience store one minute
away on foot. Every place was so accessible. With the cheap price,
I got the great service I never expected. If I have a chance to
visit there, Camelot Hostel will still be my choice. Thank the
host and the assistants.

Camelot Hostel's (800 South Guest House) Self-Check in/check
out process was a breeze. You can come and go at this hostel
and never speak a word to another human being, if you wanted
to. Not the best place for parties and meeting adventurous
travel companions, but awesome if you need some quiet time
to yourself.

Great -- clean and organized
Camelot Hostel is very clean and highly efficient. The instructions
of the hostel are clearly explained, and having access to
free internet use is highly convenient. The staff is very
helpful and the location is within a mile of the city center.
There are also many amenities that are provided as well including
a washer/dryer on-site.

Arthur, This place is great! I like it allot. I met one of the
residents who was so kind to show me the area a bit, I love the
house it’s very clean and homely feeling. I want to know if I
can extend my stay two more nights, checking out on the 7th. If
this is available, please let me know... I had also booked a room
at a suites hotel in case I did not like the guesthouse, but one
night here and I enjoyed it very much, it’s a quiet place and
perfect for me.

Very Clean. Quiet. Well run!
It was located near downtown Salt Lake City. And right off
the main freeways which was great because I had a rental car.
They had a parking area that was private which was great.
The place was very clean. Quiet. Most of the guests where
adults which was perfect because I was on a business trip.
The owner and management is extremely courteous and helpful.
I needed something because I forgot to indicate it during
my booking of my room. I emailed the owner and had what I
needed in about five minutes. Awesome! All in all it was the
best hostel experience I've had to date. I will definitely
be back next time I'm in the SLC area.

Arthur and his family are awesome. I had problems with my flight

As an independent software developer I find that the broadband
at the Camelot house is reliable and fast. I can stay in touch
with my clients even when out of town. I have traveled the world
staying in numerous hostels throughout Europe and at the Camelot
house is the BEST hostel I have ever stayed at. I never have to
worry about people smoking hash in the TV room and feel my valuables
are always secure, for example I went to a breakfast the other
morning and did not lock my room correctly, not only were all
my belongings still there - cameras laptops etc. but Arthur came
and looked at the doorknob and jam and determined it was the fixture
and promptly committed to fix it. This is a testament to the quality
of people that stay at Camelot. I have had less service from luxury
hotels that "cater" to business travelers.

This is really a cool hostel, the new creative check-in
system is just like playing a treasure finding game! I think
this place is even more than a hostel. It also trains you
to self-discipline and resolve the problems independently.
It is in a very convenient location and has complete equipment,
including kitchen, laundry, WiFi and bicycle... you just can't
miss such a cool place and a self test!

Everything I needed I was looking for a reasonably priced place
to stay while making a ski trip to Salt Lake City in March. Camelot
Guest House turned out to be perfect. Offered a place to sleep
in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of everything
I needed (grocery store, Hard Rock Cafe) and a thirty- to forty-minute
drive to Alta and Snowbird. Facilities were great allowing me
to prepare and store my food and save a bundle. I plan to return
next year.

lots and lots of signs all over the place to let you know what's
up. The place was clean, cute, and convenient. The A/C worked
-- it was nice and cool and my room had a ceiling fan... Overall,
it was a very pleasant experience. I would recommend this place.

Close to downtown and very clean. Safe and just as good as

This is an excellent location with great ownership. They have
all the modern conveniences available at a travelers price. Salt
Lake commuter rail is close by and all the best hot spots in downtown
are accessible. Highly impressed!

My stay at Jefferson, while apartment searching, was delightful.
Felt like home away from home. I liked that it's a house with
room for just a few travelers. John and Isabel are *wonderful*
hosts (and their little dog, Sandy). What a comfortable place
to come back to after work: a quiet, clean place to sleep,
cook a meal in the kitchen, watch TV or check e-mail, and
chat with other travelers. Arthur, who owns the Camelot Guest
Houses, is very accommodating and timely getting back to you,
too. Thanks for helping with my transition to Salt Lake!

Completely renovated hostel with great facilities. Excellent
location: can walk to downtown or take mass trans just outside
the door. Great cafe (The Jade) for BLD around the corner. Rooms
are quiet and smoke free. Better than a hotel. Keith

41) Camelot Hostel is a MILLION BUCKS! And, you can tell
Arthur I said so. The first word that comes to mind when I think
of Camelot is VALUE. You get a private room for $20 a night -
in downtown Salt Lake City! Plus, they have a jacuzzi shower with
a stereo in it. Plus, the whole place was just remodeled. I've
been in rich people's homes that aren't this nice. And, Arthur
and his staff REALLY care about you liking their place. Every
time I saw him, he was smiling and doing something to make Camelot
a nicer place. Finally, more than once, I have sent Arthur e-mails,
only to have my questions answered or concerns addressed within
just a very few minutes. Who else is going to do that for you?
You owe it to yourself to stay at this amazing place, with these
good people.

40) I just got back this AM from Salt Lake City. I stayed
at the Camelot guest house after my friend bailed last minute...
The people staying there were great. I even went out for some
drinks with some of them. It's walking distance of downtown, a
mile from I-15 and 35 minute drive Alta... You can rent a compact
car (at least to get you to the LCC or BCC where you can take
the ski bus) and still be ahead of the game. PS: I got my superpass
through travelocity, and they had: buy at least two days and get
one free.

This place should be a model for hostels from coast to coast.
After staying in many hostels in recent years, I find that this
one here in SLC is about as close as possible to "PERFECT".
The owner Arthur is a true professional gentleman, and has covered
all the angles in successfully building a quality establishment.
Very Clean, Respectful Guests, Quiet Rooms, Great Amenities, Great
Location. A superb lodging facility that meets and exceeds.

A great option for Ski Birds! I met some great people who were
staying in the hostel. It was very clean and Mr. Arthur was available
for any questions 24/7. TOUGH JOB! I especially liked the free
Internet and food! If you stay here you will find 100's of stores
within walking distance! BEWARE ITS COLD OUTSIDE!

Clean, well organized. Lots of helpful signs re: resources and
advice. Manager welcomed us and showed us resources. Lovingly
restored old Victorian house. Other guests quiet and friendly.
Cool, old touch-screen arcade game machine plays free in the lounge.
Big, clean mirrors. Charming eccentric decor -- dragon rug in
the lobby, movie promo Obi Wan Kenobi cutout, suit of armor, fish
tank.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our two-night stay at Camelot
Guest House. Jason was there when we arrived and helped us figure
it out. I am sure we would have done OK from your instructions,
but it was very pleasant to have his friendly help getting settled.
I travel very rarely, so I was grateful. Praise for: The whole
building smelled fresh and clean. Lots of informative signs. Good
advice pleasantly told. The building is beautifully renovated,
and the decor uncluttered and pleasingly eccentric. I do love
old Victorian style houses, and am glad to see one so lovingly
cared for. A good heavy window curtain in D2, our room. (Did your
Mom make it, as Jason guessed?) Nice thermo pane window. We loved
being way up above the street; it was quiet, and private feeling.
I put my bedroll down under the
overhang by the window, and slept really well. Hardwood parquet
floor in D2 very pleasant and clean.
The "magic code" back door is fun. Nice well-marked
parking area behind the house.
Good instructions in the e-mails. The coded room key box is a
wonderful "self service" idea. The lounge is pleasant,
the arcade machine fun. Use of a computer. Bathrooms clean, with
plenty of toilet paper. Timer light switches in public areas.
I liked the chance to make our own bed up the way we like it.
Nice rack-style shelves in the room.
Good information resources: Bus schedule with highlighting in
the kitchen. Also phone books and (vital for us) a medium scale
handout map. Thank you very much for use of a local phone call
telephone. (Our Alltel car phone can receive but not dial out
in UT.) Kitchen wall clock very helpful. Fridge space/microwave.
Good idea to label everything. You keep the place imaginatively
organized. The first night, we discovered the light wasn't working
in the bathroom by the kitchen. Jason took note, and fixed it
promptly. To wrap up... I thought your facility far superior in
charm and pleasantness to the "regular" motels I have
stayed in. Thank you so much for encouraging us to try Camelot
Guest House by fitting our limited budget so well.

I was in Salt Lake City for a collaboration with the University
of Utah (I'm a PostDoc in Computer Science), and I found Camelot
to be the right place for me: good price (the same as in-campus
apartments, but without being forced to stay more than 3 months),
good location (walking distance to the TRAX, the bus and a
supermarket), good cleanness and great people as roommates.
Good also for provided options (fridges, kitchens, Internet
in your room, TV). I definitely recommend it.

The second part of this is more personal, it's my personal thanks
for running an establishment like Camelot. So then to deal with
business things first. I, Matthew Jonathan Deane, as per our discussion
am putting in my formal notice of Moving out of Camelot on October
8th, that I might still be entitled back with my deposit.... now
that formalities are taken care of... onto the real meat of this
letter. I must say I was never "thrilled" with the state
of Utah, but one thing that I did always enjoy was coming home
to Camelot. The guesthouse you provided gave me the real feel
of "coming home". It was a much more personal feel than
many of the places I've lived and traveled to in the past, and
I must say you did a phenomenal job of providing a outstanding
atmosphere, and a great clientele. I've always found interesting
discussions to be one of my passions in life, and the clients
you chose to rent to always were intelligent and well educated.
I made many fast friends during my stay at Camelot, friends I
will have and cherish for years to come. Some I've even talked
about visiting in their countries. I've enjoyed the barbecues,
the camaraderies, and the overall feeling of people doing things
with their lives. I've enjoyed your help, and hard work on the
property, and I truly wish you the best. Truth be told I could
talk for hours about the wonders of this place, and never truly
do it justice, but one thing I For certain want to say to you
Arthur, is thank you, thank you for giving me a chance to be part
of the wonder that truly is... Camelot.

32) Thanks again for providing the unique environment of
Camelot, which is more than just a place to stay. I've met a number
of people who've become real friends and many others who are just
interesting folks my life has been enriched by meeting. And yes,
I understand that having rules and procedures is a big part of
what makes it all work.

Out of all the hostels in Salt Lake, this is certainly the best.
It is more laid back, awesome location, awesome facilities. Within
2 blocks you have some of the best restaurants and shopping in
the city as well as Salt Lake's best city park. Book here to get
the best Salt Lake experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very clean and comfortable - and
wonderful to have free use of the computer, TV and washing facilities.
Arthur and his wife were very helpful in providing information
regarding travel, shops and sightseeing. was visiting the Family
History Center to do research, and found the Guesthouse quite
suitable for this purpose - close to transport. I would readily
recommend it to anyone of any age! .

I want to extend my sincere thanks to you for being able to
accommodate my stay in Salt Lake City. My grandparents are very
happy that I was able to finish this week with them. John (manager)
is a charming gentleman and having him about the guest houses
put my husband's mind to ease. We expect to return next year to
pay family respects and I shall be sure to book as early as I
can. Thanks.

very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend it to anyone
who needs a place to stay and can't afford staying in a motel
or anyone who is traveling through. The staff is very kind and
courteous and it's great that there is a kitchen because we got
to cook homemade meals away from home.

24) I had a great experience at the Jefferson House. The
location can't be beat, so close to downtown and TRAX. Arthur
treats his guests with true professionalism. I would suggest staying
at the house to friends and family. excellent value. The location
of the Guest House is excellent, and within easy striking distance
to anything one might want to see or do in the Salt Lake City
area. I stayed there for four evenings, and had no problems whatsoever
with finding the Guest House, security in the neighborhood, etc.
The Guest House staff is very friendly, accommodating, and informative.
Also, the Camelot Guest House has everything a traveler could
want in terms of amenities, laundry and kitchen facilities, very
clean and abundant bathrooms, Internet access, etc. I would definitely
stay there again...

We had layover in SLC on our way north for the summer... not
quite knowing what to expect, we were down for anything. Camelot
was a pleasant surprise -- the room was basic, utilities great,
yet the people were the real jewel. We pulled up around 9PM
to meet a few people sitting out on the front lawn, talking
and watching the night fall. Everyone was super friendly,
helpful, approachable and gave off a good sense of community.
In short, I definitely recommend Camelot for an affordable
trip to Salt Lake City -- it's right in the middle of everything,
we walked everywhere. Do note the Coffee Break Cafe a few
blocks away and Sage Cafe for vegan/vegetarian breakfast,
also a few blocks away.

22) I arrived here yesterday and it has exceeded my expectations!
The owners/managers, Sylvia and Arthur, are extremely friendly
and helpful. I felt welcomed when I arrived. The whole house is
very clean. Here are several restrooms, all well-equipped and
spotless. My room is welcoming and inviting. Other good things
include great, accessible free parking; ironing board and iron;
free laundry; free Easy Mac (may not always be available, who
knows); fast Internet (I'm using it right now); great location;
and great price. I highly recommend Camelot Rooms.

What a gem! More than a hostel - and having stayed in a number
of hostels and B&B's around the country, I'd call it more
of a B&B just without the breakfast. I might even call it...
....Camelot! Nice authentic Victorian house both with a magnificent
mountain view from the porch while still in the center of a vibrant,
clean city and within walking distance of almost more than I can
list. Free high-speed Internet both on a provided PC and for wireless
laptops, cable TV, a separate gaming machine, weights and exercise
machine, common areas to eat and meet, washer-dryer, walking distance
from the city's light rail system, which takes you to the connection
to the Airport, the U. of Utah and up and downtown to malls, arenas,
Temple Square, Symphony Hall, the major arenas (e.g., where the
Utah Jazz play) and exposition areas. And if you're driving, secure,
