We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed it If your looking for a party hostel this isn't for you it is very quiet and has a mixed age group, we stayed in the dorm on the phone they said it was a 8 bed dorm but it is actually a 16 bed so they lied which was a bit... More

I was planning to camp at Big Sur after a business convention as an antidote to corporate hoteldom but actually decided at the last minute it would be too much hassle so instead booked this hostel - I'm in my mid 40's and had never tried a hostel so I was a bit unsure! I'm pleased to say, it was... More

I had a great experience! It was comfortablr, clean, friendly and early cheap. A great hostel.
