Santa Cruz Hostel 321 Main Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

"What a wonderful place to stay. I love the cottages and ambiance. The customer service was amazing. Sarah was kind and accommodating. The location is perfect. I look forward to staying here again."

"I loved the SC hostel, and going back to the town I have great memories from. It is still a wonderful unique little compound of buildings in a good location. Jamie is great, some of the other staff is still figuring it out, and the whole experience is a serious downgrade from what it used to be. Not as nice, less community space, people that are clearly sick being checked in, I would not recommend staying here as it is."

"My family enjoyed our 2 night stay at the hostel in the midst of a two week bicycle tour through the area. Staff were super kind and welcoming, our private room was very comfortable and we particularly enjoyed being there for the Wednesday night hostel potluck and Therese’s delicious mushroom pasta. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again."

"I had an excellent stay at Santa Cruz Hostel! I would highly recommend for any solo travelers to the area. It's very clean, modern, comfortable, and has a great kitchen. Check-in and parking were both easy. The staff was also flexible with my one night stay. I would definitely come back for my next stay in the area."

"I had a great stay at this place. The facilities were clean, staff and other guests were friendly, and the bed was comfy. It's an easy walk to the wharf and beaches, and not bad to downtown, although there's a hill on front street. Parking was a hassle during the day, but I could usually find something at night. It's best to arrive between 4-7 so the check-in attendant can help with keys and answer questions. I saw multiple people having trouble getting in at 8-9pm. The WiFi was unreliable at times, but mostly worked. Main area was great for chatting with other guests and the rooms were more relaxing."
