+ Really nice hostel for young travellers. Directly on the beach. Next to bike and surf rental. Near shops, pharmacy, grocery store and bus stop. A lot of activities. Very party people. - Cold during winter because no roof. Some people had sex in my friends dorm. More

I planned a west coast trip staying at hostels in San Diego, Los Angeles and Venice CA. I had to change my travel plans and cancelled my room at Banana Bungalow noting that I had purchased trip insurance.

Primo location on the beach which you'd pay at least two hundred a night for at a hotel. If you need peace and quiet, stick to your bunk or the beach as there is usually beer pong... More

I decided to stay at Banana Bungalow in San Diego, because I just stayed at Banana Bungalow Hollywood, and was very happy there. BIG MISTAKE. For one, the staff here are neither friendly, nor helpful. Half the time they don't seem to be know what they're doing, and the other half, you see them lazing around and grumpy about something....
