Great hotel!! The owners upgraded me to their amazing penthouse suite, which was very generous. Btw, their penthouse suite is over 1,000 sf of space with stunning 360-degree views of the entire city, kitchen, large seating area, etc. So I will always stay at the amazing Abpopa Hillcrest when I am in San Diego!!

Not sure what I was thinking with this one. The space was compact and clean. The beds are in a loft with about 3 feet high of space. The bed was comfortable, however. The space looks like it was cheaply built by IKEA. I was a bit disappointed in the quality. It also showed some age. There’s no sofa, just a row of 4 chairs to sit in, and you can’t really relax in the bed because of height constraints and the hike up the ladder. I should have booked a different space in the unit. Maybe that would have swayed me a bit more to the positive.

Modern comfortable hotel with cool vibe
We travel to San Diego for work several times a year. This was a new hotel for us to try. We loved it. A very cool, modern and hip vibe. A beautiful room. And a wonderful restaurant downstairs was great as well.

It was a GREAT property, and it was in the heart of Hillcrest, which I love. And, once you walked a block or two from the hotel, it was fine. Just a bit shady around the block the hotel was on. But, I'm from NYC, so didn't bother me too much. Might be off putting to others. Rick

Bathrooms are not private so if you’re traveling with a group, maybe don’t share the room. Nice spot for 2, but it’s very noisy. Bring ear plugs.

Unique urban treehouse vibe!
Fantastic, quirky hotel with and urban treehouse room vibe! 1 bedroom loft queen, and 1 loft bedroom 2 x twins. Really convenient contactless checkin and room access made everything so easy and fast, especially as I checked in late. Wall of windows and ladders leading up to the sleeping lofts made the experience high-end fun. Exposed wood and DIY flair mixed with high end fixtures - great use of space makes the rooms feel like a playhouse. Patio was big with comfy outdooor couches. Bathroom door doesn't have a lock and doesn’t seal, so best to stay with good friends. Unique and great alternative to a boring hotel room
