Not particularly comfortable
The private single room had a 6" mattress on plywood. So it was not a particularly comfortable bed. I am also glad there was not a hot day during my stay, as the small fan in the room was pretty ineffectual at putting out any air.
The continental breakfast consisted of bread/english muffin, apples, nutrigrain bars and oatmeal. The convenience of a full kitchen could offset that if you were prepared.
The staff was super nice and helpful.

Historic ambiance. No screens/ +mosquitos.
Nice hostel and very welcoming to an elder person like myself. Non-discriminatory policy was evident. Great historic ambiance. Courteous staff.
It was a pleasant temperature in Sacramento so no air conditioner nor heater was required. We had the windows open to let in the air but there are no screens on the windows so mosquitos came in and I was pretty bitten up by the morning.
It is unclear as to whether they have air conditioning or not.
They don't have an ice machine or ice available.
Nice game room with a pool table, pinball, and foosball machines in the basement.
Its too bad they don't have lounge chairs on the veranda.
Desk was always staffed but a lot of homeless in the area so the front door was always locked.
Very well managed.

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.

Omg what was not good about the stay here. The place is beautiful it’s so close to Golden 1 Center if you’re looking for a place near that. The stay at the hostel itself is an experience. If you do not like rules though this may not be the place for you. Kitchen is open from 7am to 10pm which was very reasonable. You’re not allowed food in the bedrooms or drinks other than water, but once you see the rooms you understand why. Such a beautiful peaceful place, with amazing staff. Shoutout to Nova for checking us in and out they’re amazing! Also being from Nevada, we’re very used to hidden fees/deposits this place had none of that which was very appreciated. Planning on booking here again for sure❤️

It was great to be in a hostel environment again. They did provide the bedding, 2 pillows, and a towel. There was a continental breakfast. You help with stripping the bed and doing your own dishes. Nice to have option for longer stay to use fully equipped kitchen. There is a fenced lot if you have a car, of course there is an extra charge. The area was quiet enough at night. It is in a business district, and on a Sunday it was very quiet. Would stay here again.
