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!

I had a great time here! The communal kitchen was well equipped and busy with fellow travelers cooking breakfast. Shared areas were cozy and perfect for winding down after a day outside. Bikes were available for exploring the area. Everything was clean and comfortable. 😊

We had an amazing time exploring the nearby mountains and lakes during our group vacation. The place has a great vibe, and the host made us feel right at home. 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, making it feel a bit cramped.

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, making it a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The common areas are cozy, and the staff, like River and Matteo, go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. However, the upstairs door was a bit tricky, and Wi-Fi could be better.

Charming and Comfortable Stay

I had a great stay in a cozy mixed dorm room. The atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant, perfect for solo travelers. I appreciated the clean facilities and the chance to connect with other travelers in the community kitchen. However, the lack of air conditioning made sleeping a bit uncomfortable during the hot nights.

great vibe but early mornings

The atmosphere captured my heart. it felt welcoming 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.

Charming, cozy, cozy

This place was bursting with character and charm! I loved the communal kitchen where everyone gathered, cooking up hearty breakfasts while sharing stories. The cozy common areas were perfect for unwinding after long days of exploring the outdoors.

Totally recommend! 🥰🌟

This place is a climber's haven with a chill vibe! Loved the communal kitchen—met awesome folks over some late-night nachos. The cozy common areas made it easy to unwind after a long day outdoors. Plus, you can just borrow a bike for free and explore the surroundings!

Felt like a true getaway, nothing to complain about.

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.

Target audience budget-conscious travelers

The atmosphere is welcoming 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.

Clean dorm, great value, but noisy at night. Bring earplugs!

I loved my stay in a cozy double room with a shared bathroom, especially having morning coffee in the charming garden and chilling in the relaxing TV room afterward. The vibe was just right for unwinding after a long day, even though the bathroom could use a little spruce-up. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d recommend bringing earplugs just in case! 😊
