Everything is amazing

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 the second hostel I had ever stayed at and I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. The staff were super friendly. Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and welcoming . Shout out Nik for helping me feel comfortable

Great place

Not the nicest

Love that i was able to walk to the beach/bars!

Best place to stay in San Diego.

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.

Breakfast and staff was amazing

Breakfast was awesome

We had a private room which was lovely - bed is really comfy. Free pancakes for breakfast which you make yourself. Staff are really nice and helpful. Place is kept clean. Didnt use the common areas much but looked nice!

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.

IF you are fortunate enough to have a car/vehicle, definitely do your homework about parking. 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!

Everything was great. Comfortable, very friendly employees, great location.

Everyone was very friendly

Great experience

Great spot right next to the beach. Bustling area. Lots to do. We stayed in a private room. The public areas were very clean and everyone was very respectful

The place was clean and staff was nice but it was so crowded and nowhere to park. The man told me to park across the street and I could stay there up to 3 days. Good thing my husband stayed by the car until 1am with his friends and the police told him that the car was gonna get towed if he didn’t move it. If he didn’t stay out that late, we would have been towed. Nothing like the pictures online. Also there’s an advertisement of breakfast included with the stay. You gotta cook your own food and wash your own dishes.

Very nice people and nice amenities

By the beach

It’s kept very clean. Great staff. I love staying there.,

Cool place to sleep, shower and get to work

The stay here was amazing! When we arrived, we got greeted very nicely, and shown around right away. It was very clean and well kept. Breakfast was very nice to have in the morning and we were allowed to keep our bags there after checking out until the evening when we had to catch a flight. We were also provided a towel to shower after the beach after we had already checked out. Overall it was a great experience and a great hostel!

This is my favorite hostel to stay at. The hosts are really nice. Place is very clean and chill. I will totally recommend this place to my friends and family

I love this place. It's is super chill. And very respectful.

I had an exceptional time staying here and would recommend others to this place too!! It turned out to be the best place to stay on my 4-day trip, which you cant beat the price and the memories I've made there were amazing along with events planned for each day & 420 friendly which is dope! 10/10!! Cant wait for my next trip to the area and my next stay here!!

Enjoyed a quiet room at the end of the hall!

Quiet

The hostel was clean and the staff were friendly. We had a private room that offered many amenities most hostels don’t such as a TV, fridge and sink in the room. The bathrooms and showers were also private stalls which was nice. It is a bit hard to find as it is above a taco shop so we did have to look around for the door but all good once found. It also has a security lock as well. One block from the boardwalk/beach and there is a big free parking lot down the street if you can’t find street parking. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location near the beach..
