I love this hostel and I like the fact they’re located in a quiet neighborhood but still central to go to Ocean beach. Staff are friendly and the hostel is very clean. Def coming back to stay here in the future.
Great place to stay! I’ve stayed a few times and I have been satisfied each time. The staff is great and very helpful if I have any questions. Andrea has been awesome with making sure I am settled. I do plan on staying again in the near future.✌
This place was a lucky find. Very friendly community, clean and colorful, and hospitable. Great for a first visit to the city. Close to airport too.
Staff was responsive and helpful. Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler.
Convenient location close to airport . I had a good nights sleep after a long days travel. I also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and chatting with fellow travelers . The staff was very welcoming.

A fairly worn grungy hostel. All the basics, but could use updating of common areas. And better cleaning of room. Staff friendly and helpful. Up charges for hot tub use. Mattress comfortable enough but synthetic sheets and thin blanket. Plenty of outlets and WiFi good. Breakfast starts late, 8:30. There is only street parking, free but may not be nearby. Public transportation is not nearby.
Very clean and I felt very safe. There are a number of rules but all meant to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and the rooms as well. Great little pool and jacuzzi. Surrounding area is a little slow but a quick drive to balboa park and cheap Uber to downtown SD. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.
I love the staff there especially Katilyn, she was so sweet and nice. Everyone else was awesome as well! I couldn’t have stayed anywhere nicer. Will definitely come back there next time. I am mad I left early I didn’t think clearly on what I was doing. But good times
