ITH San Diego Mission Beach Backpacker Hostel

I have really enjoyed doing my own pancakes, it was delicious and very fun ! The staff was fantastic, always enthusiastic and smiling. My room had everything I expected, so it's nice.

I would say that the noise might be the only small drawback. I was often woken up by the street's noises.

Brilliant hostel! Reuben and the rest of the ITH team do a superb job of creating a wonderfully welcoming environment—from the hostel tour upon arrival to the lovely, varied evening events and great recommendations for things to do in San Diego. Thanks to the team for a fantastic stay!

I ended up staying at ITH’s Mission Beach location because the reservation I made at a different hostel turned out to be a mistake (the online system said there were rooms available but in reality there weren’t any left at the time). It’s good that’s what happened though because the staff are much more friendly, welcoming and helpful/supportive. I was always told good morning and asked how I was doing throughout the day and if I needed anything. The place is always kept clean and stocked and is near the beautiful beach and boardwalk as well as a nice amusement park. They’ve also got daily events/activities like Taco Tuesday and BBQ night which I’ve liked. I remember five years ago thinking I’d probably never stay at a hostel when I found out about them being a thing; just because I didn’t like the idea of being around people like that as I’m kinda introverted. But I finally gave it a try and I’m glad I did. Especially ITH. They have good priced stays, nice locations (I’ve also been at their sites in Little Italy (San Diego, CA) and Beach Bungalow (Mission Beach, CA)), and great staff at each one. And personal space actually isn’t a problem like I thought it’d be. So I think I’m mostly done with hotels and will choose hostels, specifically ITH whenever I can, from now on!

I’m sad that I have to leave one day soon (too soon) and that I didn’t find out about them sooner

It was extremely clean. It’s smelt so fresh and everybody was so nice and helpful

Everything was perfect

Amazing staff. Super clean hostel. Privacy curtains around beds.

The hostal is super close to the beach, the people have great energy, and the breakfast options are excellent

Nous avons apprécié la chambre car elle possédait un lavabo et elle était très spacieuse. Le personnel était également un point fort. Tout le monde était très accueillant et réactif.

Les tapis de douche sentaient mauvais (forte odeur de pieds). La sol de la chambre n’était pas très propre.
