"I had an excellent time at the hostel and a really happy it was there."

10.0

i love the whole pod-centric hostel experience and this was an excellent example of it. i wish there were more places like this.

i loved the hand-crafted pods and the simple-but-secure management system. and, State Street in Santa Barbara is s great place to be.

"It felt just like the film I recently viewed in theaters “backrooms”"

4.0

If you’re looking for value and location this is for you, however, I’ve herd “you get what you pay for”…… I don’t think that I personally feel that’s a one size fits all statement.

In truth it missed the mark because of the filthy state it was left in. The common area , ie. Was in a state of as if an attendant or cleaning crew came to clean and right in the middle of the tornado of tiding they left on a lunch break Never to return…. Not impressive need not say more……

I like the location and price i also like that its coed because when there's to many guys around eachother things happen

It would be nice if there was a tabel along the front window like a bar counter so that when you want to eat or just site down instead of having to be on the bed the upstairs is to difficult it should be used for the onsite manager

"Perfect place for a busy traveler in need of a bed and hot shower."

10.0

The location is unbeatable, close to downtown and to the transit center for easy access to every location in the area. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating when I needed to extend my reservation.

The lockers are close to the front windows, so personal items could not be retrieved with full privacy.
