“Really nice and well maintained hostel, however quite loud from the street outside”
16 Dec 2024
Staff were very friendly. Hostel was very well maintained and clean, and the beds were comfy. They had good security, with a locked door and giving each guest a pass they had to use to get in/show to the staff.

“Superb”

It is extremely cheap!! At the very heart of the city.

“Good value for money”
01 Dec 2024
Location of the hostel and the prices are fair! The complementary breakfast helps you start your day! The facilities were very clean and it was calm and quiet! I liked the games rooms and all the spaces provided to create opportunities to meet people.

“Nicely refurbished hostel situated in the heart of historical San Diego”
27 Nov 2024
A large well-equipped kitchen with spacious sitting area with many tables, where we could work/sudy and socialize. Juice for breakfast is good. kitchen was cleaned by the stuff everyday although some hostellers did not do wash-up. It was only 10 min to Convention Center. Folks staying there were friendly and reasonable. Young, old and families are mixed. Only a few min walk from the Airport bus stop on Broadway/5th Ave. Some fruits are availble for breakfast. The beds are curtained for privacy.

“Very good”
27 Nov 2024
It was my first time in a hostel. The location was great and perfect in San Diego. The rooms were clean and large, breakfast was ordinary, and the structure looked very good!

“Great location, stay ok”
22 Oct 2024
The location is very great. You need your access card to get in the lobby. Sink in the room. I did not stay long enough to see the positive of the place. The corridors are colorefull.

“The best hostel I have ever been.”
17 Oct 2024
This is maybe the best hostel I have ever been. Its so beautiful inside, the corridors with all those mezmerizing and creative paintings, spacious and comfy room and bed, spacious, well equiped and beautifully looking kitchen and dining place. The location on the 5th street is the best location ever in this city. And I lost my wallet in the hostel and the staff at the front desk was extremelly helpful to finding it. Thanks a lot for making my experience in San Diego to become the best one.

“The Hostel is located right at the center of the best quarter in San Diego, the Gaslamp Quarter, full of good restaurant”
02 Sep 2024
It is located right in the center of the Gaslamp Quarter, the best quarter in San Diego.
