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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Nice place, but a bit expensive for what we got. We had a private room, but it didn’t keep much noise out. Noisy night, including a guest crying in the bathroom on a long phone call. Hope everything turned out okay for her!

Came to San Diego for the first time for a wedding and heading back home the next day. I've never stayed in a hostel before and didn't know what to expect. this place was awesome, all staff are super friendly, guests were also very friendly, the room had 4 bunks, bed was actually very comfortable, and lockers to keep stuff safe (although i felt very safe here). they provided breakfast, there's also a supermarket a block over, down the main street there's a bunch of coffee shops, small restaurants, and corner stores. the area was very nice! i can't think of any negative thing about this place. the planes are kinda loud but being close to the airport is super convenient. i will definitely come back next time i come here!
