The hostel and property are absolutely beautiful! A rare find in a downtown area. Clean, quiet, and affordable. The hosts were so sweet. I will definitely stay here again, should I ever need an overnight stay in the downtown Sacramento area!

Beautiful, historic home
Absolutely beautiful 1850 posh home on a leafy tree lined street beautifully made into hostel. Would definitely stay there again.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is in a locked area. The ambiance is fabulous with period furnishings, yet the mattress was comfortable. They take precautions to maintain safety since the area the surrounding area isn’t the safest at night. It was a short walk to the Capitol.
It was so nice and clean. I was welcomed. Awesome stay.

Average but efficient
The showers didn't get very hot
It’s 2-3 stories of long stairways to access the rooms and there are no elevators or ramps.
Parking is off street and $8 x night
Breakfast is toast, english muffins, apples, and nutrigain bars
Lovely building, very pleasant staff, room was nice and beds comfortable. We were seeing a show at the Crest and it was an easy walk to the venue. We didn’t love that our room was on the third floor and we had to lug our luggage up two flights of steps, a bit tough for us older folks. Also didn’t love our neighbors next store who were banging on the shared wall at 5am.
