This hostel has a great atmosphere and is an excellent choice for someone who wants to have fun and meet some new people. The make your own pancakes for free is awesome and so are the staff. The bed are great with little privacy covers and individual bed lamps. Also each room has a set of reasonable sized lockers. I... More

Previously stayed at their LA hostel so I knew what it was like coming here. Great simple designs, and very clean. Their beds (top and bottom bunk) have plug ins and a lamp, and even their lockers have plug-ins inside to leave your phone or laptop to charge. It's next to one of the busiest streets in San Diego, so... More

The location of this hostel is fantastic, in the middle of the gas lamp, surrounded by bars and cafes as well as being only a few blocks away from the railway and bus station. The hostel is clean, has lots of bathrooms (I didn't have to wait the whole four nights we stayed) and the dorm rooms have great comfy... More

Having stayed at the other USA hostels in Hollywood and San Fran I have to say this was the weakest. There was building work going all day throughout my stay which I was not informed about prior to the trip. I was offered no discount. The hostel itself is good, good beds with privacy sheets and privacy lamp. Lockers with... More

This centrally located Hostel is one of the funnest places I have ever stayed. It is truly in the heart of the Gaslamp district and you can expect a party to be happening in or around the hostel all weekend long. The good news is the staff is pretty serious about quiet hours so if you need sleep it can... More

This hostel is the BEST! Great location for nightlife. Right by Balboa Park. Lots of activities planned and great people. The beach is a ride of trolley away. I've worked there back in 2005, as a receptionist, with my boyfriend. Stayed 6 months! If you go, say hello to Take, the best japanese employee in the house! LOVED the experience,... More

Would probably live here! Ideal location - right in the heart of downtown and 2 minutes to trolley and buses to get everywhere else. Super friendly and helpful staff. Organised events so we were able to meet lots of people. Stayed in a double room with a bunk bed, fridge(soo enjoyed), t.v and a mirror and a chair! Bathrooms were... More

I was in a room facing the street and no one slept until 2am when the bars closed! Unbelievably loud, even with ear plugs! Otherwise, hostel is decent - bathrooms need a good scrub, friendly people, helpful staff, well located. PS - the Tijuana trip is for serious alcoholics only - you see the seediest, most touristy places there -... More

So we stayed here 4 nights. I knew it was going to be a party hostel, from everything I read online. My boyfriend and I, although we like to go out and stuff, are not the most outgoing people in this kind of situation. Anyways, so we arrived there late (around 9pm) on Friday night. We had booked a private... More
