Such a fun stay at ITH Santa Barbara!
Everyone at the hostel, employees and other hostel goers alike, were so friendly and welcoming! We really enjoyed participating in the group activities the hostel offered. Great accommodations too - comfy bed, clean bathrooms, fun lobby to hang out. And i would be remiss not to mention the awesome make-your-own pancake breakfast. We would 100% stay at ITH again!

Sparse but Great
Great location, friendly staff, right price. Even had pancakes you could make for breakfast and full kitchen for cooking dinner. Can walk from there to Piers with fabulous restaurants.

Good day room circulation addition recommend
Place was clean and nice. I would strongly recommend individual fans that clip onto the bed rails for each of the beds for health purposes for guests. Rooms can get quite stuffy with multiple people in them and there's no real circulation unless window is open but it was closed unless we opened it. individual fans for each bed would be fair and affordable resolution to make it more comfortable for those wanting to have them. I would definitely return would just bring my own fan. otherwise it was a great stay. It's nice that they have nightly activities the staff was fun. It's a cool concept and great location right by the train and the beach and so many activities and a Dollar tree walking distance made it more affordable. Thank you each for hospitality!

Great location next to the train station. I got the feeling from the stuff that they don't like what they are doing as they were a bit off. The breakfast was very low quality compare to other hostels I've been.

I could not locate this place for a few minutes as I arrived on my first night but discovered it was down the winding road on Yanonnall St from US-101 South. This was the only affordable place; yet, the location and the staff were excellent. The parking was good. It is walkable to Stearn's Wharf/Pier and extremely close to State St (the main drag). Approximately, a ten-minute walk to the nearest convenience stores. I visited the Pres. Reagan Ranch Museum- a short walk. I drove to Carpinteria (under 10 miles) for a surf lesson- no problem. In the late afternoon/evenings, I would briefly sit on the lounge chair outside for a little rest. I also used my PC inside near the front desk. On my first night, I purchased a locker from the front desk to store my backpack that stored my PC. One negative- the Men's Room running water pressure was slow & one of the faucets did not work. I recommend this place for a serene weekend!
