The location was perfect if you want to stay near all the bars/night life in the Gaslamp Quarter. The rooms and bathrooms throughout the building were kept clean.

It can get very loud at nights because of the noise coming from the bars. I would recommend some ear plugs if you struggle to sleep with loud noises.

It’s affordable and perfect. The hostel has plenty of rooms, each with a basin, bathroom, and eight super-comfy beds. Every bed comes with a towel, two pillows, a duvet, plus a privacy curtain, reading light, and power socket. The sturdy bed frames don’t creak or shake, and the rooms include an air cooler that doubles as a heater in winter. The kitchen on Level 3 is well equipped and even offers free pasta, rice, oil, and seasonings. Guests can also enjoy board games, a pool table, arcade games, vending machines, and TV.

The laundry room is closed for maintenance during my stay which I need to do my laundry at a laundromat at double the price 😢.

Very clean room and common areas especially the kitchen was a lot nicer than other hostel kitchens I have used in the past Lots of art on the walls, the decor of the hostel has been done with care. There are many small hangout areas in the common areas Safe bike storage inside the hostel Free filtered water and coffee around the clock Kind and respectful guests

The hostel is very quiet and not many common activities are proposed (only pubcrawl once a week), which did not disturb me but could be offputting for people who expect to come to the hostel to meet many new people. We barely noticed the other people staying in the hostel, guests mostly keep to themselves even in the common areas.

N)A

I stayed for five days in a room for four people. At first, one of my roommates was noisy because he had a heavy cough and a runny nose. I asked to change rooms, and the staff kindly responded to my request. When I accidentally left my room key inside, they opened the door right away without hesitation. Later, when I changed my check-out date, they willingly accepted the change and refunded the extra charge. The kitchen was spacious! I had no major complaints, although a few of the stoves didn’t work very well. The refrigerator was large enough to store all my groceries. The shower and restrooms were acceptable—not very dirty. The only downside was the noise from a nearby club, which disturbed my sleep. Considering the reasonable price, I was very satisfied with my stay overall.

I had a great stay in San Diego at this hostel. The staff was welcoming, but especially the stellar HOUSEKEEPING staff who were always around keeping the place tidy (everything was always impeccably clean) and the free breakfast running smooth. The location is right in the heart of downtown, close to Petco Park and lots of transit options to the Zoo and Balboa Park. Restaurants and coffeeshops are plentiful nearby.

Unfortunately, the mattress on my bunk was VERY sunken in - it was actually uncomfortable. But I managed to fall asleep. Also, this hostel is in the Gaslamp district with is also the drinking/clubbing district so if you stay on a weekend, it WILL be very loud with crowds and music. Just use the free earplugs provided at check in and you can get by.

Clean, artsy modern design, newly renovated, nice breakfast, best coffee - quality and very safe with staff checking the entry passes upon entering the building. Nice engaged staff.

Even if I asked for a quieter room in the courtyard and was given exactly what I asked for, it was super noisy during the night (loud music/beat from one of the downstairs bars?). In the morning, either someone was disposing of glass bottles into a special container or they were being picked up, but the sound of shattering glass bottles went on forever. The hostel is located in the Gaslamp Quarter, which always seems alive.

Simple breakfast provided which is nice. Hostel location is Gaslamp quarter (downtown), so night time can be loud for light sleepers, but earplugs are provided. Great location to check out multiple clubs and bars at night. Relatively close to public transportation which can take you to the SD Zoo and Balboa Park, the airport, UCSD, etc. Room was simple and clean; locks are $6 on the first floor for the lockers if you don't bring your own. Multiple bathrooms are located throughout the floor.

I'm a light sleeper so I had to wear earplugs at night to block out club music from outside. Not a big deal though.

Everything is very comfortable. From the moment you step into reception, you feel a very calm vibe. The rooms are cozy, and the beds are super comfortable. The different spots around the hostel are top-notch, from the kitchen/game room to the atrium. The location really makes you feel like a local in San Diego. While there is some street noise due to the area, it’s not really an issue—the rooms are very well insulated. The receptionists are lovely. Every one of them that I met was friendly, attentive, and spoke to you in a really nice way. Many of them speak Spanish if you need it.

The cleanliness is a bit excessive in my opinion—they’re always cleaning. At times, I felt uncomfortable because they were cleaning while I was eating in the kitchen, and this happened at different times of the day. Since it’s a shared room, it’s really just luck who you’ll end up sharing with. In my case, I was with two Indian guys who didn’t have the best hygiene, and the room had a bit of a strong smell. But well, that’s not the hostel’s fault.

Amazing location right next to the gaslamp district with lots of bars and restaurants, also close to transport links all over the city. The facilities were amazing with lots of communal spaces and a large kitchen.

This could just be the room we were in, but we stayed in a double queen with private ensuite and it was next to the road which is very loud with just single pane glass, and there was a water pipe going through the room which was equally loud. The bathroom wasn't the tidiest either.
