    Great spot for climbing trips!

    Had an awesome week here! Super comfy beds and enough showers, so no waiting. The chill kitchen was perfect for cooking, and there was plenty of fridge space. Mateo, River, and Max were super friendly and helpful. Just a heads up, the upstairs door in the John Muir room could've used some work-it was tricky to close. Loved the picnic area too!

    warm atmosphere
    great activities
    friendly host
    small room

    The place has a great vibe, and the host. I'd recommend bringing your own coffee to enjoy in the cozy courtyard. It really adds to the experience. Just be aware that the rooms can be a bit snug for multiple people.

    The only downside was the tiny room we stayed in. The two queen beds took up most of the space.

    The communal kitchen was the highlight of my stay! Such a great vibe-cooked with fellow travelers and had late-night nachos. It got a bit noisy at night, so bring earplugs 😄

    The Hostel California in Bishop is vibrant and welcoming. The common areas are cozy, and the staff, like River and Matteo, go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The upstairs door was a bit tricky, and Wi-Fi could be better.

    Charming and Comfortable Stay

    The atmosphere was cute and vibrant, perfect for solo travelers. I appreciated the clean facilities and the chance to connect with other travelers in the community kitchen. The lack of air conditioning was nice.

    great vibe but early mornings

    The atmosphere captured my heart. It felt cute and vibrant. The communal kitchen buzzed with fellow guests cooking hearty breakfasts, fostering a true sense of community.

    Be prepared for mornings as they're quite lively.

    cute atmosphere
    shared kitchen

    The atmosphere is cute with a bunch of friendly folks just hanging around & the shared kitchen was a lifesaver for me, had all the basic utensils. One night, I played Settlers of Catan with some fellow guests which turned into a real fun time, much better than I anticipated.

    Not exactly a steal, but considering the vibes, it was still acceptable.

    relaxing tv room
    slightly outdated bathroom

    The vibe was just right for unwinding after a long day, even though the bathroom could use a little spruce-up. It was a great experience, and I'd recommend bringing earplugs just in case 😊

    I had a fantastic stay at Bishop St Hostel in California! The hostel had a friendly atmosphere and even provided bicycles for guests to explore the area. The free parking lot was a great perk for those with cars. One unique feature I loved was the Dr. Bronner's liquid soap/shampoo provided in the bathrooms; it was my first time using it and it felt incredibly soothing. The communal rooms and kitchen created a welcoming and homely environment. The hostel even offered homemade vegan dinners shared among guests. They had a great selection of books on the Sierra Nevada and East California, making it an ideal place for hikers. a cozy and well-managed hostel that I will definitely visit again!

    Can recommend this hotel.
