We are excited to share that after an extensive and challenging effort to save Monterey Hostel following its closure during the pandemic, we opened our doors to guests on March 1, 2024! Our efforts include:

complete interior renovation
private family and friends rooms with queen bed and twin/twin bunk beds
significant accessibility improvements, including the addition of 2 wheelchair-accessible guest rooms
new outdoor deck & entrance
new electrical, lighting, and plumbing systems that use minimal energy to help reduce waste

We look forward to welcoming guests into the new Monterey Hostel. Thank you for your love and support
