Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately our dormitory-style accommodations are subject to issues like snorers - and other guests' reactions to them. Many guests, in order to avoid uncomfortable situations such as these, utilize one of our nine, affordable, private rooms. Additionally, given that we operate with such a small staff in such a large house, it is nearly impossible... More

This hostel is close to downtown Sacramento in a beautiful old house. We really loved the building. The hostel atmosphere was not that great but it was definitely quiet season. The facitlies were fine - good kitchen and downstairs entertainment rooms. Staff were a little unfriendly. Rooms were fine - your average hostel beds, albeit a little cold. We came... More

Just tried to book a room here. The guy who answered the phone was a rude, snotty, unhelpful person. It was apparent that I was a total inconvenience... How dare I call and try to make a reservation?

I had a lovely stay at this hostel and would recommend it. I stayed in a female dorm. The rooms were very clean and the guests I shared with were peaceful and respectful. The nicest thing is the huge comfortable living room where you can sit and read or make use of the wifi. The wifi also worked perfectly in... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our hostel. We're so glad you enjoyed our parlors and the other amenities our hostel offers. That was a great tip on the Greyhound.

Quite a mixed bag - the building is a lovely big old Victorian mansion with huge ornate dining and living room spaces. We had a private room, priced similar to a budget hotel. We bizarrely had a bunk bed above our queen probably for a small family but we were just 2. The showers hot and air con cool -... More

Greetings and thank you for your feedback. You're absolutely right about the bunk bed. Most of our private rooms are designed with families in mind. We apologize that the bunk was distracting; we will try to be more aware of things like this when assigning guests to private rooms. You also mentioned that the signage was little excessive and patronizing.... More

I can't say much for the accommodations because I never even got that far in my travel plans with these guys.
