ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel

Rosey, Kai, Kali et allii Yoga

My first time staying in a hostel. It was small clean and organized. It is very comfortable, quiet and safe. A wide mixture of ages and backgrounds.

I would have liked to have known to bring my own towels. Yes, you can rent some but my stay was short so I just hit the dollar general and bought a couple.

Pros: Great location, close to both the city centre and the train station. The hostel is also very clean.

Cons: Staff regularly enter the female dormitory, both during the day and at night, for their regular “visits”. This leaves guests with very little privacy and can be particularly frustrating when it happens in the middle of the night. In a women-only dorm, these visits feel unnecessary and disruptive. Towels and laundry facilities are also charged extra, despite the nightly rate already being quite high for a hostel.

It’s home away from home .the staff were helpful and sweet easy to talk to.overall I give them 10/10 great job!😁🤏

I wish I didn’t have to leave so soon

We booked 2 nights, but left after 1. Way too expensive, we paid 240 dollars per night….insane for what you get.

nice place, close to the beach, friedly hosts

The bed was a bit short

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The staff were always available if there was any issue and were very friendly. It was easy to have a nice chat with them, especially Rosie, who was wonderful. The location is great, very close to both the city center and the beach. I would definitely recommend staying here !
