Liked: I stayed at ITH Hostel in Santa Barbara for a week and had an amazing experience! For a hostel, it really exceeded my expectations. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it was easy to meet other travelers. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown and the beach, also directly located at the Amtrak station.They also offer fun activities and free breakfast, which added a lot to the experience. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable and social accommodation in Santa Barbara!

Liked: I loved everything. Location could not be better. Steps from Amtrak so arriving at 6am and leaving at 6:30am was easy. The beach and piers are a 5 minute walk. I only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.
