This Victorian mansion is a hidden gem of Sacramento. Exquisitely and tastefully decorated. Nice cozy rooms, clean, shared kitchen and bathrooms, and most of all, amazingly welcoming, kind, and helpful staff. I definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Sacramento. I know I'll definitely come back.

Beautiful old Sacramento mansion converted into very cool hostel lodging. We paid for the gated parking lot for convenience, but there was also street parking in the area. We had a private room and shared bathroom...had a lovely stay.

Really nice staff very helpful with answering any questions I’d had because this was my first hostel stay. I will definitely be back! Only thing I’d complain about is the lighting being so so so so low in the private room.

Absolutely loved the staff and the property….beautiful and relaxing. The area is nice and lots to walk to, there are a LOT of homeless people. The homeless people honestly did not bother us much at all. Would love to stay again and highly recommend.
