Location was fantastic - walking distance to boardwalk and wharf. Price was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean and appealing. Great common room and outdoor courtyard. Enjoyable time, felt like home. Will definitely return.

Everything great.

I had a great time at a lovely hostel just a short walk from the beach. The separate houses and two bathrooms per house provided convenience and comfort. The kitchen area was spacious and I even found some free food! The rooms, although a bit small for 6 people, were still comfortable.

One minor issue was that the bunk beds were a little short for taller folks like me, but that seems to be common. Another small inconvenience was the limited storage compartments outside, as I had to share with a friend and couldn't bring all my scuba gear.

Lots of tips for things to do and events in the evening. Gorgeous building and gardens with big communal spaces. Plenty of games, guitar, and even a popcorn machine. Fresh coffee in the morning was such a joy. We got upgraded to an upstairs room with a really comfy bed and great views. Facilities were clean and fully working. Walking distance from everywhere. Just a great vibe and a truly lovely stay.

Felt spoiled, nothing to complain about.

The location of the hostel is ideal, with its proximity to the boardwalk and a pleasant neighborhood to explore. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing useful bonuses like laundry facilities and board games. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, the bunks are comfortable, offering a good night's sleep.

Some guests have mentioned the difficulty in finding parking, which can be a bit tricky at times.

Mind-blowingly amazing atmosphere with clean and comfy rooms in different cottages. Super friendly staff offering lots of tips for things to do and events. Jaw-dropping communal spaces with games, guitars, and even a popcorn machine. Fantastic views from upgraded upstairs rooms. Incredibly convenient walking distance to everywhere. An absolute must-stay for an awesome vibe and LOVELY experience.

The hostel's location near the beach creates a relaxing atmosphere and the sound of the ocean is soothing. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing helpful tips and suggestions. The buildings and rooms are beautiful, and the facilities are excellent. The communal spaces offer various entertainment options and the coffee in the morning is a great touch. a highly recommended stay in Santa Cruz.

Nothing not too like.

Mind-blowing hostel with amazingly clean and comfortable rooms in different cottages. EXCELLENT proximity to the boardwalk and downtown area. Friendly and helpful staff. Super comfy beds and soft sheets. Quaint and clean environment with a well-equipped kitchen. Smooth check-in and late check-in accommodation.

The staff at this hostel were friendly and welcoming. They provided helpful tips for things to do and events in the area. The location of the hostel was great, with easy access to everywhere. One advantage I enjoyed was the communal spaces, which were spacious and had plenty of games and even a popcorn machine.

One negative aspect was the lack of strong WiFi within the dormitory. It would have been better if the WiFi signal was stronger in that area.

We stayed in an incredible cottage with loads of space and ideal facilities, and amazing social spaces in the hostel overall, the BBQ and fire-pit outside a highlight. Our room was small but fit us and our stuff perfectly. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were soft. The environment is very relaxing and cool.

The area wasn’t very well lit so moving around at night was a tad troublesome!

The location of this hostel is fantastic, just a short walk to the main beach and right in the center of everything. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with soft sheets and comfy beds. The shared bathrooms are well-maintained and each used by only a few rooms. The hostel also offers a large kitchen and separate living area for guests to use.

The windows in the old house are thin, so you can occasionally hear people walking past the building. But it's not too much of an issue and definitely not a deal-breaker.

I stayed at this hostel for a wedding and had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly and the facilities were great. There was a cozy common room and a beautiful outdoor courtyard. The location was ideal, close to the boardwalk and in a pleasant neighborhood. The bathrooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. it was a wonderful place to stay, exceeding my expectations.

I do recommend this hotel.

Excellent location near boardwalk and downtown area. Clean and secure, with respectful guests. Friendly and helpful staff. Unexpected bonus of free tea and coffee in the lobby. Character-filled building.

The hostel had a beautiful and cozy atmosphere, perfect for families. The grounds and facilities were well-maintained. The staff and other travelers were friendly and welcoming. The staff was extremely accommodating and even changed our room to fit our family's needs.

Despite the overall friendliness of the staff, this one incident left a negative impression. the parking situation was a bit tricky, even with the provided parking passes.

The house had a fascinating history and the owner even took the time to give us a tour. The room and shared kitchen and bathroom were all very clean. The location was ideal for us as budget travelers.

Felt right at home, nothing was too much trouble.
