Guest Reviews
- andres (10/5): The best hostel SD - Super la atención, llegue más temprano y me dejaron esperar para mi check in fue muy valioso para mi llegaba de un viaje super largo y no tener que esperar afuera fue muy grato para mi
- wynter (10/5): Awesome stay close to everything - Close to everything we went to the Petco for the game you can see the stadium 🏟️ soon as you walk out definitely be back Nothing bad to say
- Gerardo (10/5): Great service - Location
- Alejandro (10/5): -
- Muñoz Aguilera (3/5): Lugar sucio, incomodo y desayuno muy pobre. Muy mal calidad-precio - No me gustó nada. El desayuno era muy pobre. La habitación no estaba limpia, la ubicación era regular, el barrio parecía peligroso. Los baños afuera de la habitación, tampoco estaban muy limpios. Por un retraso en nuestro avión casi llegamos a las 2 am. y a esa hora no hay nadie para hacer el check-in, pierdes la habitación y tu dinero.
No lo recomiendo para nada.
- Sharon K. (10/5): - Private room Staff professional, informative Aswesome updates to building. comfortable bed . walkable Area to resturaunts grocery stores transportation ports Cvs store, and pharmacy not far from Ball Park, and other outlets of attraction near by. Free breakfast
- Gouge (8/5): - The bathroom, Kitchen and wash room was spacious. Room was nice and cozy with a good view . And a variety of music was played thru out the day. It was a cool vibe. No elevator, had to haul my stuff up a bunch of stairs. Was tiring.
- Gouge (8/5): -
- Maurice (8/5): My first experience in a hostel - Rustic furniture in the kitchen they played cool pop culture music in the morning nice light breakfast offered. The bathroom was very pretty unexpected for the price paying. When hostel isn't full you basically have a room to yourself really I've advised others who seek travel adventures experience to try out I'm pity I wasn't informed that hot water nozzle was in the cold nozzle spot. This is it really people were nice I was hardly there
- Murebwayire (9/5): -
- Jelle (7/5): -
- Raul (8/5): Bien - La ubicación y que ofrezcan desayuno Nada
- Joe (7/5): very good hostel - staff was very friendly and helpful, location and price combo cannot be beat one of the restrooms needed repair and got shut down while staying there, with another floor undergoing renovations leaving the only accessible restrooms 2 floors above
- ARIF (7/5): You may get better option than this property. - The location is very good. The hostel don't have lift and travellers has to carry lagaege on third floor. The construction work is in progress. Front door is close and need to wait for long time during first visit. Not advisable for old travelers with more lagauge.
- Juan Carlos (9/5): Tranquila - La ubicación y el orden… aseo Quizás el
Desayuno podría mejorar el
Tener huevos para los huéspedes..
- SHOKO (10/5): -
- marie (10/5): artsy vintage hostel - I like the kitchen its spacious and plenty of room to sit and eat. i like the dorm room i was staying in it was clean and well organized there was nothing that i didnt like
- Todd (8/5): -
- Annet (8/5): -
- Hansen (8/5): -
- Daniel (5/5): - Bett war okay. Lage sehr zentral in der Innenstadt. Hostel ist recht düster. Freiwillige machen dort die Arbeit, um die kostenlos übernachten zu können. Entsprechend ist Motivation manchmal nicht so gut.
Frühstück kann man vergessen. Gemeinschaftsraum ist nur viel zu dunkel und unbequem. In Kühlschrank wurde mir mehrmals essen von irgendjemand geklaut

- Lenka (8/5): -
- Rojas (9/5): -
- Zapata (9/5): - La cercanía al Centro de Convenciones Al hacer el registro es un poco demorado. No explican en ese instante como funciona lo del desayuno.

- tauqeer (7/5): - The receptionist, probably named Berkley, was very cooperative. Also the manager as they changed my room on request. The earlier room has no curtains which was probably because they are undergoing renovations.
- Ian (9/5): -
- Rekia (8/5): - staff were kind. breakfast was good for me.
- marie (10/5): - i like the location its in the gaslamp district, very close to restaurants and the trolley. there is a continental breakfast and coffee. great atmoshere there was nothing that i didnt like
- Neel Kamal (8/5): - Everything was perfect, worth the money, but the breakfast used to run out very quickly (and mostly no refills). One needs to be there as soon as it starts.
Location - very good.
Staff - good
Breakfast - good
Breakfast availability - reach early.
Overall - 9/10 Long wait to use the toilet and shower!
- Lee Li Zheng (7/5): Room is fine, but management has a room to be improved. - The location and room were fine. But a hostel young male staff made a big mess on my account. When I checked in at about 6 pm of 03/22, I was assigned to room #419, but was told blanket had not been ready. I must collect it from service desk later. Since I had a blanket with me, I did not get hostel’s blanket. When I checked out in 03/23 morning, a young female staff checked account and found that I should live in Room #400 and nobody lived in room #419 last night. This was why there was no blanket in room #419. So that I had to ask the female staff to correct their record to avoid a possible over charge to me. I was not happy for this mess.
- Maksat (1/5): - I still haven't gotten my security deposit back
- Ernesto (4/5): - Desde media hora antes del checkout te están llamando a la puerta y molestando
- Sujit Kumar (8/5): - Like the hostel decoration and design. Only stairs, no lift, difficult to carry luggage
- Jeiser (7/5): -
- Cynthia (4/5): A mess - The price The pillows were flat and my room was dirty and all the beds need a fan and personal light only 1 had a personal light. Bathroom is shared by everyone one the floor.
- Nina (6/5): - Zu wenige Badezimmer und Möglichkeiten sich fertig zu machen
- Oswaldo (8/5): -
- Wyatt (10/5): place let me sleep in what more can i ask . - san diego kitchen renovation ?
- Daniela (5/5): ¡Hace el apaño pero sale caro para lo que es! - El hostel está bien situado, aunque hay que tener cuidado por la noche, especialmente si eres chica y viajas sola. Aun así, tiene muy buenas conexiones con otros puntos de la ciudad. Sin embargo, es superviejo y estaba muy sucio. El personal fue bastante desagradable y no hay ningún tipo de control de luz y horarios. El desayuno tenía bagels con queso o mantequilla y algo de fruta, así que me pareció bastante escaso también. Creo que es demasiado caro para los servicios que ofrece y la condición que tiene.
- Michael (10/5): Amazing - Amazing staff and location. Would stay here again
- Lamonica (2/5): Next Time - Stranger Staff/ Nothing/
- Juan (8/5): -
- Julia (10/5): - Cafe da manhã simples, mas muito bom! A localização do hostel é ótima, proximo ao aeroporto, lojas, restaurantes e mercados. Alem disso, é possível pegar o ônibus proximo ao local.
- Gabriela (1/5): -
- Caterina (7/5): -
- Celina (5/5): Ok place for a short stay. - A cheap place to stay in San Diego, nice localisation. You can ask for additional blanket if you need for free. The whole place looked kind of dodgy and old, there is no lift, there is no heater (it was kind of cold at the time). The windows do not shut completely so you hear the cars etc. The bathrooms were not cleaned as they should be.
- Subarna (7/5): I feel like I was staying in 1960/70 , very memorable, symbolic, collective feelings - I didn't maintain any kind of corporate ettiqquittee. Simple and easy going environment. Cleaningness, the restroom and kitchen should be more clean.
- haoran (7/5): -
- viajeromochilero (9/5): - Es un buen hostal para quedarse de paso en san diego, suelo quedarme mucho aqui cuando vengo y todo bien 🙂 👍
- Josephine (7/5): -
- Deekshitha (2/5): -
- Yanhui (8/5): -
- Long (8/5): - Staff, affordable, casual and comfy, plus clean, and if you want to socialize you can and California knows how to make you feel at home. The decor is priceless rock artists pictures and great showers. All Good Especially for the affordable price.
- Tayler (5/5): -
- Gabriela (9/5): I would definitely stay there again - I only stayed one night but it was nice. There are so many stairs 😂. Everything was clean and I got lucky having the room to myself. The view is pretty cool. I missed breakfast because I overslept but it’ll be for the next time. The front desk didn’t speak Spanish and my English isn’t great, but it wasn’t a problem at all, they were really nice

- Andrea (4/5): - La ubicación no estaba mal. Olía mal, hacía frío. Solo hay dos baños y dos duchas por planta y la mayoría de las veces estaban fuera de servicio. El personal no es muy amable, con alguna excepción y muchas veces no estaban en recepcion.
- Suet Lam Aurora (8/5): -
- Zane (10/5): Great - Great location, friendly staff. Decentl breakfast included, which was nice
- Zdenka (3/5): - The location, the staff Construction work, most restrooms were locked

- Bernard (1/5): Was assaulted and didn’t get to stay. - Nothing The staff was very disorganized and disrespectful
- Oleksandra (10/5): -
- Iveth Melissa (9/5): - I like that offers a very complete breakfast, and that every day the personal clean the room and all the bathrooms, there are personal super nice that would help you to know where to go and what they recommends to do in the city. I also like that is very close to a lot of restaurants and it's very convenient to go to other parts of the city. When the hostal is full of people there should be a better organization of the breakfast because there was times in which the breakfast was over in 10 min after they put it.
- SHINICHI (3/5): 安いから仕方ない - どこも一杯なのに予約できたこと いろいろ説明が不十分。部屋が寒かった。暖房が見つからなかった。ハンガーが一つもない。ベッドにタオルが置かれていたが、何のためのタオルかわからず、洗濯はされていたが使い込まれていて、使う気がおきなかった。シャワーの使い方がよくわからなかった。シャワーは床のタイルがグラついていて快適ではなかった。親が出るまでに時間がかかった。

- Hyeon (4/5): 위치는 최고! 나머지는.... - 위치가 정말 best! 타임스퀘어 가기에도 정말 좋고 알라딘 뮤지컬, port bus terminal이 가까워서 아울렛가기와 우버셔틀버스 탈 때 정말 최고! 위치를 생각하면 다시 가고 싶은곳 화장실문이 슬라이딩 도어라서 절대 닫기지 않음....냄새와 소리 때문에 화장실 갈 때마다 민망함. 데스크 직원 한명과 컨시어지 직원이 정말 무례함. 냉장고와 전자렌지가 없어서 정말 불편함. 냉장고는 매일 아침 여유분을 요청해서 3일만에 겨우 받음.

- Brandi (9/5): Lucky D's Hostel my experience - They have everything you needed kitchen, reading room, bathrooms,etc. It was home away from home. There was not anything I really didn't like.
- Brittney (8/5): - Location and staff Bathrooms weren't clean and rooms smelled
- lucina (1/5): -
- Ali (2/5): Shady.. - Some of the staff were actually nice other than people who hardly checked me in.. They try refusing me after paying for a private room. “We’ll let you stay because you booked a private room” didn’t want to match the price on booking.com, followed by obnoxious stares..
