Hostel Obispo is located just steps from Amtrak and Greyhound and a few blocks from a lively small college town with a full service grocery around the corner. There are beaches and hiking trails nearby too; who could ask for more? I found the place to be very clean and the staff friendly. I'd return. In fact I have! Love... more

My fiance and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. The girl at the front desk was polite, not super friendly, but polite. I was skeptical of the sheets we were given - my fiance's smelled really musty. We stayed in 6 bed mixed dorm room - I was the only girl. There was a variety of ages in our... more

We stayed for one night in a dorm bed and found the whole experience delightful. The staff were very friendly, providing not only the sourdough pancakes for breakfast but also a tasty, healthy dinner in exchange for a donation. The communal area is smallish but this also makes it very cosy, and the kitchen is very well equipped if you... more

My boyfriend and I regularly go to SLO. Our usual motel was booked. Other motels were asking for over $150 a room the weekend that we went. I was so happy to get a bed at this hostel. We were told to put our bags in a smaller room. After going out, we came back around 9 pm to find... more

We hit it off immediately with Buster, (presumably) the owner/manager, who was very amusing and gave us all sorts of useful information about the local area. We only stayed in SLO one night but the hostel was small and clean - more in B&B style than hostel style. We were staying in a dorm for five people, which was small,... more

A very weak hostel. The bedding system is very unsanitary. Each guest is given a clean sleep sack and pillow case, but sleeps on a used bottom sheet. Gross. I don't want to think about what the bites on my stomach are. Extremely regimented. If you love rules, then this is the place for you. From the looks of things,... more

HI San Luis Obispo (Hostel) I'm sure it would have been a great stay if we would have had a room when we got there. I reserved the room 6 months in advance & then called to confirm it two times before we left. When we arrived they said "sorry, we gave your room away." A family of five, in... more

I recommend this nice and small hostel to everyone, who travels on budget. I was travelling alone, and didn't want to pay much, so I thought I would try this. It cost me only $20 to stay in a dorm, but it was just fine. Everything was clean, there were enouhg showers, and there was also nice pancake breakfast in... more

Very friendly, very clean, good value and definately recommend it to my friends! more
