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.

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!

Sleepless in San Diego
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!

Great place but could be better
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.

Hi Kassandra, we are glad to hear that you had an overall great stay here with us. Allow us to explain the outside guest policy: We have that policy to keep the safety and security of the Hostel for all guests, including you. We also reserve the space for paid guests which would be unfair if one of the guests had to wait to use the bathroom, for example, because an outside guest that did not pay to stay in the property is occupying that restroom. Also, if we allow you to bring outside guests, we theoretically, would have to allow every other guest to bring a friend inside the property which would potentially create many types of issues. Regarding the Housekeeper trying to clean the room is because the check out is 11 am. We agree she could wait for you to move everything out however you left the room after the check-out time and she has a limited amount of time to clean that same room for the next guest. Anyways, thanks for the feedback, we really hope you can come back in the future. Thanks for staying with us and safe travels!

I was not abke to stay the hostel turned me and my service animal away left me on the streets. After i was stuck at sea with my service animal for 48 hours got to land to find no hotels available i find the hostel and they right away said i cant stay because of my service animal unacceptable

Hi Ryun, we understand your frustration. We have politely explained to you that we do allow service animals in the Hostel, however, we only allow it in the private rooms and not in the dormitories. Unfortunately, the dates you were looking for were fully booked for the private rooms. The reason why we can not allow service animals in the dormitory is that you would be sharing with other guests. Other guests could feel uncomfortable or have allergies or another kind of issues. We hope you understand and we hope you could stay with us in the private room when it is available.

Property is a short walk to the beach front, airy tv lounge with garage door type window wall. Kitchen is at other end of the lounge. Food places just next door. Surf lessons, tours, not free but available. Beach accessories available to buy. Its above sea level so there are some stairs to go to/from the beach. Street parking. Excellent service by owner. But mostly see the volunteers who are very casual.

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.
