ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel
10/10 Excellent
"Staying at ITH Surf Hostel was an awesome experience from start to finish. The rooms were super clean, way cleaner than most hostels I’ve stayed in, and the beds were comfortable enough that you actually wake up rested. The whole place has that relaxed surf‑town vibe, but it’s also well‑kept and organized.The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cool — not just doing their job, but actually talking with guests, giving tips on local spots, and keeping the energy fun without being overwhelming. They make the place feBreakfast was simple but good, with enough options to start the day right before heading out to explore or hit the beach. It’s a nice touch that adds to the home‑like feel of the hostel.What really makes ITH stand out is the community vibe. Travelers hang out on the patio, swap stories, plan adventures, and sometimes even create content together. It’s the kind of place where you meet people from all over the world and end up exploring the city with them. The location is also perfect — close to the beach, food spots, and everything you’d want to check out.el welcoming the moment you walk in.Overall, ITH Surf Hostel is a great mix of comfort, cleanliness, and social energy. Perfect for nomads, surfers, backpackers, and content creators looking for a chill place to stay while exploring somewhere new."

Ala Mar by the Sea
6/10 Okay
"Location was amazing. Bathroom was dirty, moldy and unventilated and the room was not ready by the promised time. Front desk lady was rude because I didn’t fill in a form that was texted to me in the middle of my 5 hour drive to Santa Barbara. If a form was required it should have been sent 24 hours earlier, not when people are actively traveling. Maintenance man was very nice and helpful. We didn’t know how to check in, there was no signage saying that the registration desk was at a neighboring hotel and thankfully he walked us over to check in. He salvaged what started out as a crappy experience."
Casa Riviera
8/10 Good
"Property was clean and efficient. The unit was a studio unit so we didn’t have a lot of space and there were no amenities."
The Inn at East Beach
8/10 Good
"Well the whole vibes of the Inn was great. I loved the blue aesthetic and the beds were comfortable. What I didn’t really like was the bathroom door being because it was kinda open in a way. Another thing was how the floor was really dirty. I feel they should provide sandals and slippers or at least let the guests know that the floors aren’t clean before their stay. The $15 parking fee was crazy so it’s probably better to find parking around the Inn on the streets. Other than those critiques, I really did like the Inn."
Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Great ocean views, walking to the beach, beautiful, clean pool"
Casa Jardin
10/10 Excellent
"The place was great. The communication was excellent- information/ updates/ reminders were shared throughout the stay and always stated that questions/ issues could be addressed immediately via text or call. Housekeeping staff was always around minding the property, so it never felt like we were completely on our own should we need anything. The bed was soft and the windows actually opened so we could get the ocean breeze! The kitchenette was stocked with everything we could possibly need. The bathroom had all sorts of toiletries if needed as well, including full-size soaps. There was even a brown noise machine! The SB Bowl was less than a 20 minute walk, and dinner was only 2 or 3 blocks away as well. It was a great help to have a place to leave the car and take advantage of the walkability of the city. I loved the ease and convenience of the smart lock so I didn’t have to worry about any actual keys/ cards. Noise was not much of an issue. We were in town only for 2 days to see a show at the Bowl but would’ve loved staying longer. The proximity to everything we needed plus the availability of everything we could want, at the cost we paid made this an ideal place."
