A beautiful building built in the 1800s you must see. The interior is charming. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with walking distance to places. The house is absolutely clean throughout. Staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend.

Property is nice, but the location is right behind the city hall, where the homeless camp out unfortunately, just like most cities in California. Smell and noise level inside is much to be desired, as it's an old mansion without soundproofing. I was trying to get more sleep around 9:00 a.m. and, someone was banging the piano and singing out loud in the living room, which is right next to my room. It was probably better on the 2nd or 3rd level, but they only come with a shared bathroom. This is a good place if you're on a budget and a convenient 15 minute ride to the airport.

Lots of Vagrants around...open air drug use...saw a group lighting a fire near a building...definitely unsafe. Building is cool looking...but 100 years old and smells/feels like it. Woman asked front desk to borrow a phone charger...they said no....I feel like they should invest $5 in a charger people can borrow if they really need it. Weird setup to get in and out as well. Would not recommend.

The staff are helpful. It’s nice to have access to a kitchen. A park is a block away which attracts homeless. The parking structure across the street was cleaned at 10:45 pm on Saturday night. It sounded like a large leaf blower for an hour. I couldn’t sleep.

Wonderful gem in Sacramento
Beatiful Victorian mansion with a ton of character and charm. I felt very safe and comfortable there and appreciated the private gated parking adjacent to the house. The staff was kind and helpful and it was a quiet and peaceful stay.

Nice location and property, but noisy in early AM.
Amazing historic mansion with a beautiful interior and history. Because the place is historic, it is not well-insulated from outside noise. I stayed in room 22 at the back of the hostel, and it was very noisy beginning at 4 am with the surrounding construction noise and leaf blowers. Because this place is not in a residential district, it isn't subject to noise regulation hours. I used ear plugs on my second night.

Greetings!Thank you for taking the time to send us some feedback. While we do offer complementary earplugs, being the heart of the city will always carry a bit of noise. We are sorry it disrupted your morning.Our best

Best Hostel ever stayed at!
I was visiting Sacramento to run CIM. When making the reservation for this hostel, I was looking for affordable and reasonable accommodations for my weekend stay here. With my 1st visit ever to Sacramento, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I have experienced many hostel stays in the past. I am so happy to report that I was blown away by the accommodations and the service provided by staff. This historic Victorian style building is well kept and has architecture you no longer see anymore. This hostel provides spacious rooms, adequate sleeping accommodations and better than timely in getting out the food in the morning and having the freshly brewed coffee ready to go.The staff were all very friendly and helpful in ensuring I had everything I needed. A special shoutout to HI staff member Kira, as she always exhibited an amazing positive attitude and made herself available to answer any questions I had and was great at suggesting restaurants and fun things to do around Sacramento. Thank you so much.

While we only have one ADA private room with private shower, we also want to ensure that our guests are aware of the shared bathrooms. We've asked for this to be added beyond the main description and into important information. Thank you for helping us illuminate this detail about our property. Our Best

Highly recommend!
The building is an absolutely beautiful historic building that has been kept up well and is decked out with adorable antique furniture and art. The staff are super friendly and helpful and have a very organized system in place. Everything is very clean and cozy and you can tell the management pays attention to little details like keeping fresh sponges in the kitchen area and ensuring the pillows and sheets are the most comfortable kind. I was traveling as a solo woman but felt very safe in the hostel. Gated parking is available for a very reasonable fee. I believe this is the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Absolutely loved the architecture and interior decor of this Victorian beauty. The staff was wonderful. Anthony, in particular, could not have been a better host. Comfortable, clean, great location, safe, gated parking! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay at HI Sacramento again if I'm ever back in Sacramento.

Lots of care has gone into this 1885 building. The staff was great & room comfortable & attractive. Bathroom was right next to our room so easy to access. Lots of messages taped around which were fun to read (and interesting). Really appreciated the thought that was behind the hostel. Very glad we decided to stay here.

Poor service, did not allow cancellation refund
I booked this place late night during a weekend but then an hour later decided I couldn't stay, well I called for a refund and they wouldn't allow it. It's very unfortunate and poor service for not allowing cancellation and charging me a fee for cancelling. Even though I wanted to cancel within 1 hour of booking.
