Sausalito Hostel

Hostel Sausalito

Hostelling International

Welcome to our hostel

Marin Headlands, a comfortable hostel in a rustic setting, sits on a hillside in the Marin Headlands section of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.

The hostel itself is nice and spacious with a large kitchen, large reading room with couches, and a downstairs game room with foos ball, pool table, and a ping-pong table.

In the park just outside the door, you can hike the open meadows, bike the coastal mountainside, check out the operating Point Bonita lighthouse, tour military barracks and batteries from both world wars, see the nation's only officially restored Nike missile site, or head to one of many local beaches. Several other popular destinations, including Mount Tamalpais State Park and Muir Woods, where you can stand or hike among the majestic coastal redwoods are also nearby.

We are in a beautifully isolated area with very limited to no cell reception and no public transportation except for on Saturday and Sunday.

I stayed in the Annex house. The doors kind of slam and it's fairly noisy It's a cute old house. Only 2 bathrooms for that many people is kind of crazy. The annex should also have a freezer (annoying to keep freezables at the main house). Parking is kind of weird, but always found a spot. Super close to the Golden Gate bridge. Internet and cell service are basically ZERO here. Nice to meet other travelers. Room/house felt very safe. Snoring roommate was the worst. Got NO sleep my last night.

Pièce à vivre très accueillante, chambres spacieuses, mais pas de volet. Salle de douche pourrait être revue car ventilation très bruyante et seuls des rideaux séparent les 3 douches.

Love this place. Beautiful location and accommodations. With walking distance to so many trails and beautiful locations including the Golden Gate. No cell service and internet is very limited for those who want to stay connected to the grid.

Having a single use gender neutral bathroom would be much appreciated. Also, encouraging everyone to abide by the quite hours would be nice. A large group with children were up super late and were very loud.
