A short jaunt from San Francisco proved the advice she received about Sacramento's hostel was accurate. She has a friendly demeanor, quick to grin and seemingly very happy to tell her tale. Compared to all the other hostels, this place is pretty amazing. Rave reviews Cleanliness is a big reason Sacramento's hostel would get the seal of approval from mom. The site is immaculate everywhere you look.
Floors are clean, the furniture dusted, and the very large kitchen is spotless.
Rooms are kept in perfect order at all times, with great care given to making sure guests follow the rules banning alcohol and cigarettes from the building. I've stayed in every kind of place, including castles, but this is the best kept and the most beautiful so far. Sadly, not all hostels are quite so well kept, nor are they in areas of town as picturesque as downtown Sacramento. Hostelling time can always be memorable, but not always for the right reasons. It was nice, but we were advised not to leave the compound because the neighborhood surrounding it is so bad.
