Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location approximately half way between the aquarium and fisherman's wharf. Room was very large offering plenty of space for us to unpack for the four day visit. Room was very clean and always kept this way by housekeeping throughout the trip. Wine and cheese in the lobby each afternoon was a nice additional touch.

    This property is in a great location for Monterey Bay. It’s close to Fisherman’s Wharf where you can catch a boat for fishing or whale watching, or just grab some seafood for lunch. The room was spacious and clean, and free parking was available on site. The staff were brilliant and helpful - the safe didn’t work when I arrived at my room and it was fixed immediately!

    We were very happy with our stay at this motel. The room was very clean and looked as if it was renovated not to long ago. We were surprised how quiet it was despite there being some traffic in the area. We especially liked that there was no carpet in the room. Parking is free and you can park right in front of your room. This made it easy to load and unload luggage. For everybody on a budget: There is a safeway nearby for water and groceries.

    Nice room. Small fridge, microwave and a coffee maker- very nice. Tub and shower! Great location. THe Monterey Pines Inn has a lot of charm for a budget place. I'll definitely return. Great value for the money, too.
