Excellent!
The hotels are costly, and I've stayed in a Santa Barbara Hostel before. It was an excellent stay! (No one was in my room that night; therefore, I used my CPAP.)

I’ve stayed at this hostel many many times over the years and it is still fantastic! super clean, really friendly staff nice atmosphere. you get a free breakfast, it’s Nothing fancy but it does the trick. I’ve never had an issue staying here. I highly recommended it! My only Disappointment in my last stay after paying for 3 nights I needed to put my bags in storage for less than two hours, and they wanted to charge me for that.

The facility was great, one of the best I've been to in recent times. but the beds were super creaky making it difficult to sleep through the night without making a sound

Don’t remember the last time I climbed into the top bunk. I’m not the social butterfly, so I mainly stayed to my room or the library. I will consider staying here again the next time

Didn’t spend too much time there but it was clean and just a fun place to be with other fellow travelers. Definitely recommend if you just need somewhere to sleep for a few days.

Danius was an excellent host as he made me feel welcomed on a rainy day in Miami. I was short $13 dollars on my security deposit upon check-in and he made the executive decision to go above & beyond to get me checked in. I really appreciate his help with it being my first time at the establishment. I would definitely recommend to friends and stay here again. It's a friendly atmosphere. - Chris
