Located in the heart of San Luis Obispo, this hostel is housed in a charming Victorian-style building. It is well-regarded for its cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, making it a popular choice for travelers. Its proximity to the Amtrak station and the downtown area makes it highly convenient for those traveling without a car.
Guests frequently highlight the DIY sourdough pancake breakfast as a major highlight of their stay. The hostel features well-maintained communal areas, including a kitchen, garden, and game room, which are perfect for socializing with travelers from around the world.
However, due to the historic nature of the building, soundproofing can be an issue. Guests should also be aware of the daily cleaning policy, which requires rooms to be vacated between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Those expecting modern hotel amenities may find the facilities somewhat dated.
