The hostel is housed in a collection of Victorian era cottages. Very quaint with vintage gardens and plenty of outdoor sitting areas. Rooms were clean and comfortable with respectful, quiet roommates.
Checked in on a Wednesday and joined the weekly community potluck with guests, staff, board members and neighbors. A very
Warm, helpful employees. They invited me to events, followed up with me if I was still staying the night. For some reason the night before, website showed I reserved a room, the day of not so. Sydney noticed the discrepancy and called me.
Super low-key, quiet, and feels safe. To me that’s the most important consideration when staying in a hostel. I knocked off one star on service only because I rarely saw staff and felt I didn’t always have access to them.
I am a repeat guest of Santa Cruz Hostel and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone! Their rooms and common space were perfect for my friends and me to connect and recharge during our last visit. The comforters on the bed are amazingly soft and cozy (you might struggle to get out of bed!). The staff are friendly, hospitable, and welcoming. The grounds look beautiful year-round. The hostel is very clean, safe, and thoughtfully cared for by all of the hardworking staff. I will return!
My daughter & I stayed an extra night in Santa Cruz because we loved this place. It's a beautiful tranquil little hostel with lots going on & very friendly and helpful staff.
We'll definitely be back.
I can highly recommend to go to the Santa Cruz Hostel! After my first day I extended my stay, because the location is perfect, the hostel is cozy and gives you the feeling of getting home and the staff is just so genuine and welcoming. I felt like I was part of the Santa Cruz Community and met a lot of cool locals and travelers.
When I will visit Amerika again this will be definitely one stop in my next trip.
I had an amazing time staying here. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and shared spaces were clean and comfortable. Met very interesting people from all around. Thanks for having me, I'll be back!
