It was a lovely stay
Saksham, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

this was my first time staying at a hostel, and I was nervous that I would be one of the older clientele and somehow feel out of place. It was not like that at all. It was a varied group of people and everyone was very nice. Pancakes and coffee were a bonus
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at two other hostels, and this one was the best of all. The attendants were friendly, especially Rosie, and the guests were friendly. This place is set up to have conversations with others, which makes it nice, due to the large dining/hangout area. The place also has a relaxing patio with a modified short bus where you can also hang out inside and read a book or talk to others. The place also has planned activities every day, free of charge, which far surpassed my expectations. The beach is 4 minutes walking distance and so is a skate park. Great place! Will visit again.
Miguel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great spot. Check in went smoothly, took a little tour, which was helpful. There were people relaxing outside the hostel and in the main lobby area as well. It was really noisy for a few minutes, but the manager quickly quieted things down. I would definitely stay here again.

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!

Best location ever! We loved EVERYTHING about this place! Hot water, comfy beds, sweet staff, and, did I say, “We loved EVERYTHING about this place!
Tim, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Had to listen to drunk 38 year olds talk about how all American women are awful and the only good ones are in SE Asia or E Europe - and when I walked away back to my bunk, was confronted by one of them and I said I didn’t like how he was speaking about women it made him sound gross so he hit me in the face while I was literally sitting on my own bunk bed. Staff allowed him to stay. I left for my own safety. No manager contacted me at all. They don’t seem concerned at all,
Skylar, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Towels to dry your hands in the bathroom would be nice and the staff was drying laundry right outside my room door at 5am it made it hard to sleep.
