SANTA CRUZ HOST-ILE

The distance from the beach, the landscaping, complimentary parking and snacks. Attractive price.

The really poor and careless page. When you reserve for a couple, end up being for just one female person or sharing dorm, NO FREE CANCELLATION. Even when you pay 'insurance" they charge in advance SO, if you change your mind after you hit that "reserve button", be ready to be ripped off. Th e site offers a "Reinbursement insurance or cancellation insurance" JUST, PLEASE DON'T... Trying to use the "so called returns insurance" is a real legal pain in the butt. I didn't even have a chance to see the room and was charged $80. Hope this help as a donation tho. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS PLACE !!!

Great place for an affordable price

Location is fantastic, within walking distance to beach, wharf and downtown dining. Well kept grounds in a safe neighborhood. Plenty of parking, parking passes available for $5/day. Full kitchen with large fridge. Private rooms are very nice. Dormitory was clean, comfortable beds, earplugs available. Very friendly staff.

No grocery shopping in the immediate vicinity.

Great stay near the beach.

Tony and Sara are great and made my stay so much nicer by answering my numerous questions! They are both very intersting people who also enjoy traveling and travelers, so it's a good place to park it for a couple of days. I used to live in SC, so I know the area and this is a great location. It's a very comfy stay and you can cook in the kitchen, which is I did everyday that I was there. There are grocery stores nearby, within 5-10 mins driving distance, including a Trader Joes. Parking can be a challenge because it's so close to the wharf and the Boardwalk and during the summer, there's parking permit requirements. It's a great place to stay and much more homey than a hotel.

DID NOT STAY. Not acceptable

Terrible quarters, too many beds for the space, poor ventilation and lighting. I could not stay there. Very expensive for a hostel.

Beautiful cottages by the sea

The sight was picturesque and close to the water and downtown. Everything on sight was very clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly. Furnishings were cozy and well lit, and the gardens were beautiful.

I had no complaints.

Will definitely stay again.

The Accomodation is very clean and tidy, I like the layout and the space the property provided. The staff are super friendly & hopeful, location is close to everything.

Just one person I met at the hostel wasn’t very nice to me always putting me down very negative person, but that has nothing to do with the hostel.

Wonderful family stay

The grounds and facilities are beautiful and cozy. It was me, my husband and our 2 kids(4&10), i do recommend for familys. The staff and other travelers were so nice and friendly. The staff is absolutely wonderful. The staff the day before were very accommodating to change our room to fit our family's needs. I would definitely book this place again over a chain hotel.

The only draw back is the parking. They try their best to accommodate with some parking passes, but getting a spot to use it is a bit tricky. But we made it work with a little time and patience.

Fantastic hostel with brilliant staff in an ideal location.

Beautiful hostel at a fantastic location. 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. The staff were all fantastic, Tony was incredibly friendly and made sure our stay was as good as possible. Excellent all round.
