Common areas have all the amenities that every hostel should carry. The private room I booked could also have had its private bathroom in it. However, the shared bathroom and the all gender restroom was clean and helpful. Eggs, package and the coffee were pleasant for the breakfast. Thanks to Bobby, Jonathan and the rest of the hostel crew for their accessibility. ##### Mustafa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karim Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing spot and awesome staff ##### Karim Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Nov 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fun and friendly atmosphere.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere made it easy to meet other travelers. The location was also perfect—close to everything I needed. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting. Only tip: bring a small fan for your bed. There’s outlets for each bed which is perfect for a small portable fan. ##### Stella Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nathaniel was welcoming and friendly. :) Property location for Amtrak travelers can't be any better.

Bed was comfy and private enough. Breakfast was nice -real eggs and pancakes. and they had a bbq dinner in the evening. Centrally located to downtown sb.

I would definitely stay here again. ##### Laurie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alvina Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The available parking for a small fee was very convenient.

Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miguel Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed at two other hostels, and this one was the best of all. The attendants were friendly, especially Rosie, and the guests were friendly. This place is set up to have conversations with others, which makes it nice, due to the large dining/hangout area. The place also has a relaxing patio with a modified short bus where you can also hang out inside and read a book or talk to others. The place also has planned activities every day, free of charge, which far surpassed my expectations. The beach is 4 minutes walking distance and so is a skate park. Great place! Will visit again. ##### Miguel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gwynne Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sparse but Great Great location, friendly staff, right price.
