First - it's important to note this is a hostel, not a hotel, so yes, expect that type of set up. We paid a little extra to get a double room and this was an excellent decision, it is truly excellent value for a place like Monterey and you can still have your privacy. The element that truly sets this... More

Let’s get something straight: this is a hostel. It is not a hotel. And therefore it is quite basic: shared bathrooms, you put your own bed-linen on and take it off when you leave, it has a curfew, you use (free) tokens to get hot water in the showers.

Free tokens for timed hot water shower which didn’t present any problems. Great mix of people were staying at the hostel. Beware only one bus to the... More

I ended up staying an extra night because I enjoyed it so much. The staff were super friendly and out to assist you with any need, the showers were spacious (although they operate a... More

This place is very comfortable, it's almost got a hotel atmosphere. I was here in DEC 2010 and there were very few people in the hostel so it was very boring. There is no TV room so all you can do is either go outside, read a book or go online if you have a laptop. The staff were great... More
