First time ever staying in anything like this. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a cool, cheap place to crash for a couple nights. The entire staff is super cool and helpful.

Staff is super friendly and helpful, genuinely. First time staying in a dorm hostel like this and will definitely look for these in the future. Bunk bed mattress is super thick and comfortable with privacy curtain, room AC unit is perfect white noise (some street noise which I don’t mind), never felt hot or cold, there are ample outlets for charging, and there is dedicated lockable storage under the bed. Felt very clean and secure.
I booked a second night directly from them in a private room, and I’d say it’s the best value I’ve ever had with a nightly rental. The location is absolutely unbeatable, the beds are comfortable, private room makes you feel like a king for cheap. Will be back.

I have had experience with staying in various in european hostels, therefore shared spaces and dorm rooms are not new to me. I can say my breif experience with the staff was pleasant both ladies short and sweet and informative. My bunk was comfortable (appreciated the privacy curtains) the facilities were overall clean and in working condition, and the guests were quiet and respectful during my stay. My only qualm, which was big for me, was the heat in the female dorm. There was a window ac unit but with the black out curtains drawn the air gets caught behind the curtain and a full room is uncomfortably warm during summer. So much to where I couldn't sleep. Being that room faces the street the windows were closed to keep it quiet. Just something to re evaluate in the room next to the lounge to help the ladies stay more comfortable.

This property offers excellent value for money, being conveniently located near the beach. The other guests were respectful and quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay. While the area may not be the most exciting part of San Diego, it is still within walking distance of Pacific Beach. Special thanks to Santi for being exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

The room was smelling of rotten fish.
The breakfast items like eggs/ bread were gone by the time I made it to the breakfast.

What a great week I had staying here. This was my first hostel experience and I’m so glad I chose this one in particular. The staff were all just so lovely and helpful. The vibe in the hostel is very relaxed and calm. We put a movie on in the common area most evenings and all of the other visitors were chatty and polite too, I guess we just all felt so relaxed like we were in our own homes.
The pancake option for breakfast was superb and ensured when it was time to get out to explore, we’d been well fed first.
The beach is only half a block away, the bus stops right across the street and there are food takeaways and grocery shops just downstairs!
The beds were comfy, the showers were warm and the air conditioning was a welcoming treat after being out in the California sun all day.
On some evenings there were organised activities including a bonfire at the beach, a BBQ, a soccer game at the beach and some movie nights. I really couldn’t have expected such a lovely week.
If I had to leave a truly honest review I should mention that the big industrial fridge in the kitchen broke a few days into my stay there, which obviously was just a fluke that this happened while I was there, but there was a backup fridge/freezer in the store room that was used while we waited for an engineer to come out. Unfortunate but the staff continued to be as polite and smiley as ever making our stay as enjoyable as they could under the added stress they were experiencing :)

This was my first stay here, and my first time in Mission Beach. Check-in was fast and pleasant, and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The place itself was ok. Rooms were a decent size,
but no AC, and fan too small to make a difference. The kitchen area is tiny. Overall the place has potential, but needs some tweaking. The area around is overpriced,
and doesn't have a good grocery store.

Excellent hostel and literally steps to the beach and Belmont Park. Loved the hostel experience and the free breakfast was a nice surprise!!
Parking options are limited to say the least and overnight is tricky so definitely read the signs. Everything was in walking distance and the neighborhood felt very safe. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Location is the best you can get 1 block from beach or bay. I met a couple cool new friends and the staff was very friendly!

From the moment I arrived, Santi's warm welcome made me feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower was wonderfully warm.
The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and the location, just steps from the beach, couldn't be better. Breakfast was delicious. Connecting with travelers from all over the world, including the US, was a highlight. The friendly atmosphere fostered lasting friendships.
ITH Mission Beach Hostel was the best decision of my trip. Highly recommended!
