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.

The staff who helped with the group reservation and who checked us in were amazing and very helpful. We had a trailer with camping gear and parking was available, no hassles. Only strange things was the chore list- I've never had to take out a hostel's recycling and kitchen garbage before. We were good sports about it but hauling to the dumpster is a little more than I'm prepared to offer for my one night bunk stay.

The shower curtains were a little moldy/grimy, but other than that the whole place was clean. Overall, our experience at the hostel was really great and it was so wonderful to get away from the city for a little while! The community feel was present largely with the help of the friendliness of the staff and the set up of the space itself.
