I don't know why this place had such high reviews- it's ridiculous. I've stayed in really great hostels before and this place is far from those. It smells, the paint job is low quality, its old, hot and musty. Don't stay here, there's a reason the prices are so cheap. Shared rooms with no air conditioning and old hard beds with hard disgusting bedding. Not comfortable. I'm really mad I stayed here. The front desk attendant stayed on her personal phone call the entire time we were checking in too so why bother talking to her- she was rude.

Best hostel in San Diego. I've stayed in my share of hostels and this one blows the rest out of the park. Very clean and secure, elevators, locking doors with deadbolt and private bathroom/shower in the room. Perfect for someone who wants the comfort of a hotel without the extravagant costs. Manager also always chipper and willing to help with any problem you might have.

As far as hostels go, this one has quite a 'hotel vibe' It's clean, and each room has its own bathroom and shower, so it's good if you just need a good place to stay. However if you are looking for the social elements of a hostel stay, this isn't really like that.

Our experience with the hostel were just horrible. After a long annoying check in with all our travel dates we went through a really dirty floor to our 8 bed bedroom, where we had to share the room with a lot of weird people. The problem is that the beds make a really annoying sound the whole so that you can’t really just go and sleep. If you have the possibility to find a airbnb do it! Everything is better than one night in these beds in this rooms

I am giving one star coz thats the least i can give. Their keys do not work, so once they check you in they just make you go up and down to reprogram the keys. I went like 4 times to do the same. The lady at the reception did not send anyone to do it for me inspite of repeated requests. Finally the house keeping staff let me in with their keys.bed bugs too!!! Please stay away from this place.

John and Julio are two of the best here. You are a guest not a number

The place has no personality. Insects walking on the bathroom. Broken elevator. Ran down place. Will not recommend to a friend.

Stay Away! I booked on Expedia and when I arrived to check in, the clerk looked at my CA ID and said the Hostel was not open to US residents. I had to find another hotel and they will not refund my money. Shady operation.

San Diego is a very expensive place for accommodation and this hostel bucks the trend. The lady at the front was awesome !! Can't remember her name but she was a petite lady with a huge smile that was super helpful in recommending places to see and helped us with some refrigeration options :)

Awesome gathering place with friendly people.

Good hostel in a nice neighborhood.

Great price. And good location.

Nice hostel! Very clean and the rooms are more than ok! The breakfast is not the best but it's still good to have it included in the price of the room!

Stellar superstars. A+++++ Would recommend. Everything I bring up here matters. This is advanced training in service 150. Look up indigio adults, lightworkers.

Very chill and relaxing. Had a great experience here! :)

WARNING! Shady from the get go. I was charged twice for my stay, and when I reported it to the business the Indian manager laughed in my face and refused to credit me back what I was owed. I will be reporting them to the better business bureau, but until then I would strongly recommend you AVOID this dark corner of San Diego.

The front desk personal were rude and lost are reservations for the room. Than they attempted to charge us forty dollars a night even when they just said it was 26 dollars a night. I had my bank calling me which was a red flag about this purchase. Which doesn’t happen so this place may be on a fraud list. Their are no fridges for the hostel rooms either and they locked me and my friend out a night early. They lost my paperwork too on that night I was only able to get back in because I signed for my friends work.
