HI Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel

Location great!

Location is amazing! Staff are great and helpful. Everything is clean and well organized. Seems like not all the guests follow the noise-level related rules. After 10pm a group of Indian guests were loudly laughing in shared area. Maybe a an additional refresher of noise policy would be nice to discuss additionally during check-in.

Liked everything.. from staff to neighbors to the place. All great! Nothing

Amazing views!

The location was amazing, we were so close to the ocean that we could hear the surf pounding all night long. We also spotted whales just off the shore. Shared bathrooms aren't perfect, but it wasn't a problem, especially if you consider the value for the location we stayed.

Beautiful scenery The room is extremely small, sharing the bathroom with others, and the bed is not safe.

The location is so beautiful. I love that it's secure and people who aren't guests can't just come and go. The fire alarm went off at 6:30 am for some unknown reason the final morning. All the doors slam all the time. Maybe add some weather stripping on the frames to soften the closing. I'm sure all guests would appreciate it.

The view and location was superb! Just staying at an old lighthouse was amazing. It's not your usual hotel, it's a hostel, so no special comforts like meals or nice fireplaces etc. You just go there to watch the ocean and surrounding cliffs. Shower was clean, shared, they provide linens, towels etc. Beds were also made. There is a shared kitchen which was kept clean. The rooms were a little small for the 3 person room, one would have to climb to the bunk bed. Other than that we had an amazing room with a view facing the cliffs and beach below. I don't think you can change an old lighthouse building, so you can't make rooms bigger, but maybe re-organize the beds to make more space. They were bolted to the floor so we could not move it. Maybe more hooks to hang stuff like the micro hotels we see now.

Stunning!!! What a gem along the coast. I can’t wait to return next time inthe Bay Area. This is my special place. Nothing! Loved everything.

Beautiful views, quiet, friendly staff.

It’s on the ocean, what more does one need!

View is amazing, everything you need is available I stayed late November, it was a little chilly inside

Beautiful, breathtaking outdoors. Well-equipped and comfortable indoors. NA

Price. Location Snoring roomates! Aging facility 2 many rules and emails. Gotta check in before 9. No personal bedding allowed.

Beautiful location! A historical hidden gem Sleeping accommodation

Always love coming back here and using the outdoor space here. Kitchen is nice and has all items you could need. Beds good for sleeping and nice personal bathrooms Entire property could use a good paint job and just a solid pick up!

The first night, some guy passed out drunk on the couch. He was still out when I left mid morning to go explore the beaches

Clean and well equipped hostel, comfortable beds, secure room and lockers. Big kitchen and dining/living room area. Friendly staff. Stunning location on a cleaf overseeing the ocean, private beach access (not for swimming), picture perfect! Ideal for a relaxing solo weekend (as I did). Walking distance to a delicious sandwich place, walking/biking trails by the ocean, marine reserve with sea lions. A bus (or bike) ride away from Half moon bay town and beaches. Many hiking, biking, surfing, wild life wathcing, beach life opportunities if you're driving. Not the easiest place to reach by public transit, but nothing that a private car or uber can't solve if you're in a rush.

Quiet and peaceful

Quiet and gorgeous location! Lighthouse needs a good paint job, but I imagine it has to do with finding the funding.
