What guests think
At HI Sacramento Hostel, guests praise the historic Victorian mansion, friendly staff, and clean shared spaces, with many appreciating the well-equipped kitchen, walkable downtown location near the Capitol and Golden 1 Center, and secure gated parking for a fee.
Several reviews note the surrounding area has many unhoused people and can feel less safe at night, though the property itself is kept secure. Rooms feature historic decor and generally comfortable beds, but size and quiet vary; some private rooms feel small, and several guests experienced noise from streets, nearby areas, or other guests. Breakfast is simple and appreciated, with occasional wishes for more variety. Overall, expect a charming, budget-friendly stay in a unique historic setting.

Facilities
Guests repeatedly highlight a large, well-equipped shared kitchen and the option of secured gated parking for a fee, though spaces can be limited. The historic building has no elevator, so access to upper floors requires stairs.

Beatiful Victorian mansion with a ton of character and charm. I felt very safe and comfortable there and appreciated the private gated parking adjacent to the house. The staff was kind and helpful and it was a quiet and peaceful stay.

All around fantastic. Best place I’ve ever stayed. While I had the solo “nugget” room to spoil myself, I would have no issues sharing a room with anyone else. Large parking area, clean, comfy, large kitchen, etc. just great. I only wish the parking was free.

Attending a concert at Golden 1 Center and picked this as it was within walking distance and looked pretty cool compared to a standard hotel. The entire property is well preserved with all the Victorian charm of years ago. Great kitchen set up and dining area. Room was comfortable but next time I will bring my own pillow as they were typical hotel style. The staff was also super friendly, will be back

First time hostel user, found the whole experience to be a great one. Making the reservation was very easy and accurate, got a good idea of what to expect. When checking in, it was quick, easy and clear, staff was very friendly, the property was clean and maintained well, location was great, limited on private parking but paid a small fee for one of the 10 spots for my car, wasn’t worried about leaving my car overnight. Was concerned about leaving my things alone while I was gone but luckily I had a lock, I could use one of the lockers available. Even without that, I felt like it was safe to leave my things on my bed. Coming back in a couple months and will plan to stay here, worth it for the price and experience.

Lovely building, very pleasant staff, room was nice and beds comfortable. We were seeing a show at the Crest and it was an easy walk to the venue. We didn’t love that our room was on the third floor and we had to lug our luggage up two flights of steps, a bit tough for us older folks. Also didn’t love our neighbors next store who were banging on the shared wall at 5am.

It was great to be in a hostel environment again. They did provide the bedding, 2 pillows, and a towel. There was a continental breakfast. You help with stripping the bed and doing your own dishes. Nice to have option for longer stay to use fully equipped kitchen. There is a fenced lot if you have a car, of course there is an extra charge. The area was quiet enough at night. It is in a business district, and on a Sunday it was very quiet. Would stay here again.

The building is an absolutely beautiful historic building that has been kept up well and is decked out with adorable antique furniture and art. The staff are super friendly and helpful and have a very organized system in place. Everything is very clean and cozy and you can tell the management pays attention to little details like keeping fresh sponges in the kitchen area and ensuring the pillows and sheets are the most comfortable kind. I was traveling as a solo woman but felt very safe in the hostel. Gated parking is available for a very reasonable fee. I believe this is the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Property is very clean and very well-maintained. Staff are friendly. Kitchen, rooms, restrooms, common areas are well-kept. The rooms are closed shut and I could hardly hear any noise even when at one point there were students staying in the house. My main concern was safety and this hostel exceeded my expectations. Guests during my stays were amicable, kept to themselves and are professionals. They also have space for parking. Will definitely choose this place every time I'm in Sac.

Property is nice, but the location is right behind the city hall, where the homeless camp out unfortunately, just like most cities in California. Smell and noise level inside is much to be desired, as it's an old mansion without soundproofing. I was trying to get more sleep around 9:00 a.m. and, someone was banging the piano and singing out loud in the living room, which is right next to my room. It was probably better on the 2nd or 3rd level, but they only come with a shared bathroom. This is a good place if you're on a budget and a convenient 15 minute ride to the airport.

Amazing historic mansion with a beautiful interior and history. Because the place is historic, it is not well-insulated from outside noise. I stayed in room 22 at the back of the hostel, and it was very noisy beginning at 4 am with the surrounding construction noise and leaf blowers. Because this place is not in a residential district, it isn't subject to noise regulation hours. I used ear plugs on my second night.

We worked an event in the area and stayed at the hostel, and each night we returned from work she greeted us with smiles, asking us how the event was-felt like coming home and having your mom check in on you ;) Made the stay that much better. The bed was soft and cozy, our room was lovely. Will be back next year for the next event 100% we just love this place and our favorite staff member-I just wish I would have asked her for her name so I could personally publicly thank her. Absolutely wonderful lady.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is in a locked area. The ambiance is fabulous with period furnishings, yet the mattress was comfortable. They take precautions to maintain safety since the area the surrounding area isn’t the safest at night. It was a short walk to the Capitol.

This is in heart of Sacramento downtown and in extremely scary neighborhoods. Even going out for dinner seems scary at night. I took a separate room individual room and it was literally 7x4 in size. There’s nothing in room. The property is scary old and everything is shaky. My bed headboard came out. If you add parking it’s almost equal to any ordinary hotel. So why go thru this. People are good here, well some of them. I asked for extra pillow, one just said no while other one gave in a minute. Well and well never coming back. If you can spend extra 10$ don’t come here.

Lots of Vagrants around...open air drug use...saw a group lighting a fire near a building...definitely unsafe. Building is cool looking...but 100 years old and smells/feels like it. Woman asked front desk to borrow a phone charger...they said no....I feel like they should invest $5 in a charger people can borrow if they really need it. Weird setup to get in and out as well. Would not recommend.

Absolutely loved the architecture and interior decor of this Victorian beauty. The staff was wonderful. Anthony, in particular, could not have been a better host. Comfortable, clean, great location, safe, gated parking! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay at HI Sacramento again if I'm ever back in Sacramento.

I was visiting Sacramento to run CIM. When making the reservation for this hostel, I was looking for affordable and reasonable accommodations for my weekend stay here. With my 1st visit ever to Sacramento, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I have experienced many hostel stays in the past. I am so happy to report that I was blown away by the accommodations and the service provided by staff. This historic Victorian style building is well kept and has architecture you no longer see anymore. This hostel provides spacious rooms, adequate sleeping accommodations and better than timely in getting out the food in the morning and having the freshly brewed coffee ready to go.The staff were all very friendly and helpful in ensuring I had everything I needed. A special shoutout to HI staff member Kira, as she always exhibited an amazing positive attitude and made herself available to answer any questions I had and was great at suggesting restaurants and fun things to do around Sacramento. Thank you so much.

Property is nice, but the location is right behind the city hall, where the homeless camp out unfortunately, just like most cities in California. Smell and noise level inside is much to be desired, as it's an old mansion without soundproofing. I was trying to get more sleep around 9:00 a.m. and, someone was banging the piano and singing out loud in the living room, which is right next to my room. It was probably better on the 2nd or 3rd level, but they only come with a shared bathroom. This is a good place if you're on a budget and a convenient 15 minute ride to the airport.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is in a locked area. The ambiance is fabulous with period furnishings, yet the mattress was comfortable. They take precautions to maintain safety since the area the surrounding area isn’t the safest at night. It was a short walk to the Capitol.

Attending a concert at Golden 1 Center and picked this as it was within walking distance and looked pretty cool compared to a standard hotel. The entire property is well preserved with all the Victorian charm of years ago. Great kitchen set up and dining area. Room was comfortable but next time I will bring my own pillow as they were typical hotel style. The staff was also super friendly, will be back

Lovely building, very pleasant staff, room was nice and beds comfortable. We were seeing a show at the Crest and it was an easy walk to the venue. We didn’t love that our room was on the third floor and we had to lug our luggage up two flights of steps, a bit tough for us older folks. Also didn’t love our neighbors next store who were banging on the shared wall at 5am.

It was great to be in a hostel environment again. They did provide the bedding, 2 pillows, and a towel. There was a continental breakfast. You help with stripping the bed and doing your own dishes. Nice to have option for longer stay to use fully equipped kitchen. There is a fenced lot if you have a car, of course there is an extra charge. The area was quiet enough at night. It is in a business district, and on a Sunday it was very quiet. Would stay here again.

They’re very accommodating wonderful to be with. I immediately felt very comfortable. Next time I go through Sacramento. I’ll be staying there again.

The place itself will take you back yo the past. . Just like a museum. Lots of memorabilia antiques and vintage that tell you a story. House structure is superb. From a dramatic light at night; The siren of the old trees waiving by the winds. To the whistle of birds combining tones creates music in my ears. Whhat else I can say.
