The overall experience staying at a Hostel, the staff ate super friendly as well as most guests. Everyone is very respectful of other space and sharing common areas like the bathroom, showers, kitchen, patio, lounge area TV amongst many activities around. I felt very welcomed and safe during my which to be honest wast my biggest concern. Will definitely be back next time I visit the area, Thank you for such outstanding staff you all are the selling point of this business. -tChiego

Should have thought to request a lower bunk...while still mobile and active, at soon-to-be 66, it would have been easier to navigate getting in and out of bed. Unless I missed one, surprised to discover only 2 single showers/toilets to share amongst the number of occupants. Staff very friendly and hospitable. Fellow residents respectful of others, enjoyed meeting new people with different life experiences/backgrounds.

***Highly recommend*** What a great experience! The staff was super cool and friendly. A very nice location with great amenities. Would definitely return. Met some cool people and could pretty much walk to anything. Comfortable room with storage, you can bring your own lock or rent. Only thing that could be improved upon (which I don't even know if it's possible) is water pressure in the shower. Not a big deal but maybe staff can bug the owner's to look in to it.

The beds were surprisingly comfy, and with the curtains gives you privacy. It can get super loud but during quiet hours the room gets dark and quiet so it’s good. I wish there were more bathrooms, sometimes you are taking shower and there’s a guest knocking at the door to use the bathroom

Visiting from Maine - stayed 8 nights - first experience with a hostel - had a great experience. A wonderful location, comfortable environment and friendly staff. On-street parking (within 1-2 blocks) was easy to find every night. Talked with many other guests during my stay that indicated this was one of the best hostels that they had ever used in the US or abroad. When I'm next in the San Diego area, this will be the place I stay. Did I mention the price - outstanding!

The hostel was very clean and comfortable and Guillaume was AMAZING. I was able to secure free onsite parking for the duration of my stay. I must say that I was thinking of checking out after the first wretched night of my stay since there was a never ending noisy commotion in the 10 bed dormitory with both the dorm room and the bathroom doors slamming until 1:20 AM. California Nightmare. Pedro apologized for the disturbance; however the damage was done so I went to the living room and turned on the TV, ZERO sleep. Quiet time is 11 PM - 8 AM. Please enforce it.

The hostel is very clean and friendly. Definitely a social vibe. I rented a bunk last minute on a Friday at 9 pm at $50 rate. Worth every penny. The dorm is huge, very quiet, and super dark. People are very respectful and I got a great night’s rest. The location, of course, speaks for itself. Unlike other hostels, this one won’t make you strip your bedding. Check in is at 2 and checkout between 11-12. Very generous for a Cali hostel! Even comes with a decent breakfast. 10/10 would stay again.

The location was literally a 3 min walk to the beach and steps away from the boardwalk that featured bars, restaurants, shops, coffee, etc. The staff was always pleasant and constantly cleaning which is a plus considering the pandemic. I rented the private room and it had everything i needed such as a comfy bed, TV with Netflix, Hulu, youtube, etc and a little fridge. Im 6'6" and the bunk bed fit me just fine. Although i didn't take advantage of the community areas, i did appreciate them being available. Kitchen, lounge, front and back patio were available. I would absolutely come back. Thanks everyone!

I really enjoyed this location and the people! Only things I didn’t think was great is that just because my daughter in law wasn’t staying there meant she couldn’t come in my room to change and she couldn’t be in the sitting area or do anything with me there...I think that is ridiculous and I’d rather go to a regular hotel so I don’t have to deal with that. I was in SD to spend time with her and it was a major inconvenience. Also at the end of the stay they kept saying “we’re not trying to push you out” yet while we were taking our stuff out to the car the cleaning lady pushed her way in and starting working on the room...at least wait till we have everything out and then do your business. Other than those two things the place was very clean and comfortable and location is perfect and close to everything. The front desk staff are super nice. Bathroom was clean and room was perfect size for the stay. I would definitely stay there again if things were changed when it comes to allowing my daughter in law in my room.

I like that they offered private rooms and free breakfast from a restaurant next door. I did not like that the quiet time was not enforced and actually violated by a staff member visiting with friends at the front desk, which was right by my room.

Probably the best hostel at which I’ve stayed. Friendly and hospitable hosts that organized plenty of events for the guests. There’s a great camaraderie there. Be sure to bring a passport though, even if you are traveling within the states. It’s necessary for entry.

I got there really early, so the desk clerk allowed me to store my backpack so I could lighten my load till check-in. And I had mistakenly booked for the DAY BEFORE! But he adjusted it accordingly, and I checked in later and had a great stay. There was Movie Night that night. Right on the beach!
