Guest Reviews

Some kind words from previous guests.

“I highly recommend this HI SLO Hostel for the "homey" feel. It has singles, families, and everybody from all over the world. The best part is breakfast with homemade sourdough pancakes and coffee (brewed). There are musical instruments to play with if you choose (guitar, piano). Some nights people jam together.”

“I called pretty late on the day of my arrival, but still got the last bed in the hostel. I made it right on time for the awesome Farmer's Market. Afterwards, I enjoyed the nice hostel facilities as well the friendly atmosphere.”

“Upon entering Hostel Obispo you feel like you've walked into your own home. The staff are amazingly friendly and every encounter can turn into a life long connection. Walking distance to the welcoming streets of downtown. Hostel Obispo captures the amiable and eco-conscious atmosphere of San Luis Obispo. If you're looking for a place in California that captures exactly what this state stands for, this Hostel is for you. We highly recommend it!”
