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!

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.

The Hostel California is a climber's paradise! I loved the chill vibe and the large communal kitchen where I cooked and met awesome folks over some late-night nachos. The cozy common areas were perfect for unwinding after days spent exploring the beautiful outdoors.
Could be a bit noisy at night.

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.

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.

We had a great experience staying at a hostel in California. the staff and other guests were friendly and welcoming. the atmosphere was enjoyable, and we had access to various amenities like a shared kitchen and multiple bathrooms. the room was decent, although the blankets were a bit old. Nonetheless, the overall cleanliness was satisfactory. Parking was available as promised. Cons: Everything we needed and wanted was provided. 👍.
