The nearest city is Sausalito. The HI-Pigeon Point Lighthouse hostel is not in the lighthouse itself, but in the former living quarters and fog signal building next to it. The facilities are on Pigeon Point just minutes away from the town of Pescadero. Being certified to bear the Hostelling International trademark name and logo means that the hostel meets the high standards for cleanliness, service and safety of American Youth Hostels, Inc. and the International Youth Hostel Federation . The new naming convention was adopted in the early 1990s.
All ages are welcome in most hostels around the world.
In fact, the fastest growing group of hostellers is 55 years of age and older. The only age limits still enforced are in some of the oldest hostels in the region of Bavaria in Germany. Safety and security for our guests and their belongings are a high priority at all hostels. Because accommodation is shared, hostelling creates a sense of solidarity and enforces the honor system among travelers, but common sense dictates keeping your valuables and important documents on your person at all times. However, due to the nature of cities, incidents of theft or personal endangerment are possible in the vicinity of some urban hostels.
