You could not beat the Location and the vibe as soon as you walk in! You are right on the beach, close to everything that Pacific beach has to offer. This is definitely a hostel environment, so expect the ambiance to be fun, mingle, and laid back. I stayed in a private room and the room was comfortable and spacious.

No big deal, but you can tell the bedsheets/towels are a little old, but clean. I stayed downstairs in front of the common area and it was pretty noisy (they offered free earplugs). My only concern was someone was able to open my private room door with their keycard. Would still recommend.

The location is amazing. The staff is so nice. There is a pancake and egg breakfast included every day. The common areas are awesome. The hostel hosts daily events like sangria night, tie dying, poker, etc. Everyone is respectful of the space- I got lucky and no one in my room was loud at night. Gym equipment is provided. Bikes, surfboards, and wetsuits are available to rent at very reasonable prices. There is a hostel puppy named Olivia!

The shower curtain in our 4-bed room wasn’t long enough, and the liner was covered in black mold. The kitchen is very small. (But the pantry is huge)

Location was excellent. Self-service breakfast (pancakes and eggs that you cook yourself, with fruits provided sometimes) was a nice touch. Staff were super friendly, and people there were very nice. I loved that they had activities planned out practically everyday, which brought the hostel community together. Bicycle, surfboard and wetsuit rentals for residents had the best value prices in the area. Lovely patio area that faces the beach where you can enjoy drinks on the bar chairs, couches or hammocks.

Depending on which room you're staying in, it can get very noisy. I was woken up almost everyday by the garbage truck in the morning since the garbage bins were on the road right beside my room. Dorm room is pretty small for the number of beds and I can imagine it could get quite packed and claustrophobic if it was completely full. Be prepared to wait to use the toilet, as each dorm room only has one shared bathroom and there is another shared bathroom in the common area.

One of the best hostels I've ever sit in my life shout to Carl shout out to Kira shout out to anybody who's reading this you guys were the best II can't think of anything negative to say about the place except you know I mean it kind of saw a little bit weird you know kind of you know dog walking me on the eating

Well there's certain times where you can't use the restroom at all because people are hogging the restroom and there are people there that definitely hog the restroom where you take a shower and where you need to do your you know number one and number two but at the same time I you know I got all that selled but there is a problem with the amount of restrooms per person

I absolutely loved the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere of the hostel. Its beachfront location provided incredible views and made it easy to enjoy the ocean at any time. The common areas were well-designed for meeting new people, and the events hosted by the staff added a fun, social element to my stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always going out of their way to ensure guests had a memorable experience. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was, even with such a lively crowd.

While overall I had an amazing time and was sad to leave :( there wasn’t anything I didint like

What didn’t you like about the property? While overall I had a great time, I really didn’t experience anything that I didn’t like while staying there

This is the best hostel we’ve ever booked so far. We booked for a private room and they gave us a VIP experience. Hands down to all the very warm and accommodating staff especially to Ziggy and to the Latina lady. They’re too generous to accommodate us. Even though the room’s small, they gave us what we really need. Thank you so much ITH! We’ll book with you again. Very satisfied customers here.

None actually. I like everything esp eating your breakfast til dinner looking at the beach.

The staff were super accommodating. The beds were comfy. I didn’t even have to lock my stuff up hut they do have lockers there for those that need that extra piece of mind. They have weekly activities there too so you always have something to look forward to! The nightlife was 11/10. Also located right by a 7-Eleven for alcohol. The beach is right there and connects to a tons of other great places to explore up and down the boardwalk. I can’t wait to come back, thank you ITH!

That we couldn’t blast music late at night but thats okay… theres tons of places to go and enjoy that kind of vibe

+++The location was absolutely amazing, definitely best thing about the place! ++Feel of the place was pretty solid, effort into the daily activities and get-togethers was great resulting in a decent atmosphere. +Overall people were friendly, and most of the staff were great.

—-Facilities and rooms are in considerable need of some work, and judging by the reviews have done so for some time. —Few staff members were very much to themselves and stand-offish. -Dependant on which 4bedder you stay in, staff members will go through your room to access theirs.

The location is unbeatable, right on the beach. The staff is nice and they offer breakfast every morning as well as other events where you get the change to meet other travellers.

The place needs a bit of maintenance, some painting probably. It looks a bit unorganized, especially the kitchen and dining area with all the utensils.
