This is the second time I have stayed at Hostel Obispo and I suspect not the last. They are gracious hosts, complete with coffee and pancakes in the morning! Clean rooms and friendly travelers make this the perfect place for social vagabonds. It is located a short walk from the train station and downtown SLO. Not used to staying in... More

I stopped at this hostel as a way to break my trip from LA to San Francisco. I was not expecting much at first but was greeted very warmly by the staff.

Located in an actual residential neighborhood, and yet within easy walking distance from downtown SLO, this hostel is a great place to stay. The staff is excellent: very friendly and with a wealth of knowledge about what's going on about town. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, and also within walking distance of the Amtrak station. They even have a... More

How lovely is this place, it's like a home from home, is super cosy with friendly staff that make you feel like you've just arrived at your long-lost home. Jarred (who I think is the owner) is really helpful and gave us loads of tips about the area. Our room was small and they'd squeezed an additional single bed in... More
