This is a truly beautiful hostel. It is an elegant mansion, beautifully restored and furnished. It is located right downtown within walking distance to the capitol, Old Sac, the light rail line, etc. It is well run and clean. Highly recommended. More

This hostel near the major attractions in Sacramento houses many groups and has large dorm rooms. The atmosphere created by the warm introductions by the staff is friendly and peaceful. The breakfast is simple and not plentiful, and there is a large kitchen and common area. There are computers downstairs for a hefty sum. All in all a nice place... More

A nice older building built when "townhouses" were where the well off lived. High ceilings, nice facilities including a nice large kitchen. If you like hostels, this is a good one! More

The building is impressive, the hostel is well equipped and the service was outstanding. No matter what the query or who was on duty our many requests for information or assistance were all dealt with competently and cheerfully. More

Non-smoking travelers, the ones with asthma BEWARE, the stuff members smoke right by the front door all the time and if you file a complaint with HI about this, they persecute you--I was threatened and harassed and had filed a police report with Sacramento PD, I left the hostel after receiving a refund after harassment from their manager who wasn't...

I spent two nights at the Hosteling International hostel in Sacramento and was impressed on several levels. First off, the grandeur of the building and the care that went into its restoration is immediately evident. Unlike many hostels, this one doesn't have a "party" feel to it, but instead is a very comfortable place to stay when exploring Sacramento. In... More

This is a great historic preservation building not uncommon in Sacramento however the staff act like androids without a lick of personality or accommodation. Day one was 90+ degrees with no air conditioning, open windows at night, mosquitoes and noise from outside. Day two they turned the air on but it doesn't seem to cycle on and off to maintain... More

Very clean, quiet accommodation for very low cost in convenient location! The biggest difficulty for me, a midwesterner, is waking at 5 am and wanting to make my instant coffee right away and watch the news -- kitchen & TV room don't open until 7/7:30 am. Staff helpfully directed me to a coffee shop just a block away. A small... More
