The staff is amazing (thanks Kai and Pricilla!) and gave us a great tip about a hot springs trail that was stunning. We felt very welcome there and enjoyed chatting with fellow travellers in the common area. The bunks felt very private with the curtains and a little reading light and the beds were great, as were the bathrooms. Very clean and spacious. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay, as did many others!

Amazing hostel! Well run by a nice staff, clean, beds with curtains/USB as well as regular plugs/ a light, a small exterior with tables. You have lockers outside the rooms so bring your lock or else they’ll lend you one for a couple dollars. Cute interior design. Small but very social hostel, with events everyday! Breakfast is included with fruits, coffee, eggs and pancakes that you have to cook. Only a few steps away of State street, the train station, the pier, and the beach! Perfect location. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Santa Barbara

The location of the hostel was excellent. It's next to Santa Barbara station, so anyone who wants to take a train or get here by train can get there. The beach was a block away, maybe 5 min. State Street, where all the fun places are, is also a block away. Breakfast was basic and served until 9 am when the reservation said 10 am, but that's ok. Either I wasn't told that, or I didn't remember. The staff organized fun activities every evening, which was great. They were very friendly and helpful.

The location is great. Close to the train station, close to the beach and downtown. The Hostel is by the river, if you are a morning person like me, you would love having your coffee by the river or maybe some Yoga. The beds are very comfortable, the room is spacious, bathrooms are clean and of a good standard. Self-made chocolate chip pancakes are great for breakfast. The patio by the river is a bonus, you can rarely see a patio like this at a hostel. It is a bit pricey but, you can compensate for it with coffee, breakfast, and comfort. The staff is very young, they love laughter and having fun. Overall, the young staff adds to the Hostel's great vibe. I can't understand why other clients complain about this. I don't see any negativity in a bunch of young people having fun while working. This is a 10 out of 10 hostel, book it without hesitation and enjoy your pancakes in the morning. "Elza" is the employee of the day, week, and year ;-)
