HI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable & educational organization. Our Mission: "To help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling."
Step back in time at HI-Sacramento, a beautifully restored Victorian mansion at the heart of the state capital. Most of the hostel feels more like a bed and breakfast -- two elegant parlors boast original woodwork and comfortable seating, upstairs dorm rooms feature classic Victorian fireplaces and tile work, and a central mahogany-railed staircase and mezzanine overlook the lobby beneath a huge painted-glass skylight.
Take in the hostel's Gold Rush era details, and then wander the wide tree-lined city streets -- the Capitol is just four blocks away, historic Old Sacramento's museums and riverfront dining are 10 blocks away, and the restaurant, music, and shopping scene of the hip Midtown district is eight blocks away.
Once you've explored the city, relax in the Gold Country sun at one of Sacramento's parks or on the beach at nearby Lake Natomas, hop on a bike to explore the popular American River Parkway, or join a whitewater rafting excursion.
Then come back to enjoy the hostel's amenities, including free WiFi, free linens and towels, air conditioning, guest parking, bag and bike storage, a full kitchen, and laundry facilities.
Take advantage of our partnership with nearby Practical Cycle for savings on bike rentals, or snag a Sacramento Gold Card -- available at the front desk on request -- to get discounts at restaurants, shops, and attractions all over town.
