Summary: Yes and yes.

Summary: Clean room and great breakfast
Traci Aug 24, 2025 03:19:55 AM
Summary: My stay was amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things. I've never stayed in a hostel, I was traveling alone as an older woman. I never once felt worried or scared. The staff are amazing. At first it's hard to tell staff from guests because the staff interact with the guests. Every night there is a free activity (I e., bbq night, movie night, karaoke etc.). 6 minute walk to the beach. Just across the tracks from the Santa Barbara train station. Free breakfast. Food is provided and you cook it exactly how you like it. The place is surprisingly clean. I will definitely return to this wonderful spot!

Summary: Loved the friendliness of the staff. 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 was nervous because i had never stayed at a hostel before but it was better then expected. My only complaint is that the ice machine wasnt working

Summary: this was my first time staying at a hostel, and I was nervous that I would be one of the older clientele and somehow feel out of place. It was not like that at all. It was a varied group of people and everyone was very nice. Pancakes and coffee were a bonus

Summary: 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.

Summary: Great stay! Clean like a European hostel
Elizabeth Jul 3, 2025 06:24:40 PM
Summary: The main door to my dorm needed a key for entry. Yet the window did not have a screen, was big enough for a person to climb in, was next to a public sidewalk and parking lot. I got up to close the window once it became dark outside. Someone reopened the widow. The curtains that covered the bunks may have housed more than one person. I did not feel safe. As I prepared to leave a day early on a non-refundable ticket, I mentioned to the receptionist I was leaving. She stated that I give her the key, no problem. Yet she did not mention for me to check the food I had brought in. Leaving in a hurry since I was stressed about people having access to my sleeping area during the night, I let about $50 worth of food. A liked the manager, yet I did not feel respected by some of the other employees. There was marijuana smoking in the building during the day that I complained about. The black handle was very sticky that I used to climbed into my upper bunk.
