This is a great hostel. Close to all the top spots in Santa Cruz. I also liked the crowds, met some cool people. This is my to go place in Santa Cruz. I hope I don't outgrow hostels for quite some time, cos I would totally miss this! Free parking arond the hostel (only out of season, during the season, the hostel offers heavily discounted day parking).
United States of AmericaThere is not enough space to express the enjoyable time here. The staff and the Hostel exceed my Expectations. This was my second time back and will be a returning. Felt like home. Thank you again for a great time.
United States of AmericaGreat common areas 2 kitchens, outside patio, cottages, old historic buildings,so many trees, good parking, and community food diy..dry oats, fruit and bread there was random good things. Salt n pepper... it's the little things sometimes.. Beach super close best part😎😍
United States of AmericaHad an excellent room downstairs in main house and bathroom to ourselves
United States of AmericaBeautiful setting. Loved the staff!!! Place is a very Secure setting. Lock to get into you cabin and room. Clean and homey!!
United States of AmericaThis place is a gem! It’s cozy & in the perfect location
United States of AmericaThe proximity to the beach, the staff were friendly.
United States of AmericaI bring my own food. But the free food, especially if it is organic is wonderful to have.
United States of AmericaThe location was amazing just a 3 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. The staff was so friendly. We have stayed alot of places in Santa Cruz and this will be our spot from now on. Thank you for everything.
United States of AmericaThere was no curfew, even though the website said there was. We could also enter our room during the day, after we had checked in, website made it seem like you couldn't enter room between 11 pm and 3 pm every day. We were expecting to be sneaking around, but it was very relaxed. We stayed there for UCSC graduation, every hotel and low-quality motel had doubled their prices for this weekend, the hostel was only place that did not. If you're attending a graduation in June book at least 6 months in advance, because everywhere sells out and this is the best deal in Santa Cruz!
