Guest Reviews
- zhang (10/5): 很好 - 地段好，离海滩近，离公交车站近，门口就是商业街。前台服务小哥非常nice。房间干净整洁。 无
- Richard (10/5): - Best Hostel In San Diego County. Hands Down.. Everything Was Perfect.
- Laurentiu (10/5): - Location,vibe and all the condition! All good
- Juliana (10/5): -
- Chris (9/5): I had a great stay for the value, and I hope any off-vibe I got was a one-off in my head. - The location and convenience is always great here. It is a real value for the area, so it is hard to complain about much. The place does feel safe and secure. I like the access to the kitchen and refrigerators. Also, the wifi seemed sufficient for all the users. This is a tough one, because I was only there for a few days, but the vibe was a bit different. This could have been based on the group that was staying there, but the hosts were different than my previous experiences. In the past the hosts were always very welcoming and warm females. This time they were like a couple dudes off the set of Jersey Shore. I even walked out the front door one afternoon and the host was sitting on the sidewalk with several other "non-guests" smoking cigs just at the bottom of the front steps. Just not how my previous experiences played out. Also...what happened to the hammock?! lol
- Doris (10/5): -
- Kenneth (1/5): Horrible stay. The facility doesn’t have irons - Nothing Everything
- Adriana (8/5): -
- Vevera (9/5): Superb! - The Best lodging! Nothing
- Carly (10/5): - Breakfast was wonderful. Waffle & oatmeal bar. It was the perfect vibe for me! It was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and most importantly FUN. They really made this stay unique. I met people from all around the world that were staying there. I'll be back! Air conditioning would have been nice. But, because everything else was so wonderful..It was the least of my worries. They had fans throughout the halls and in the room as well. That helped.
- Matt.Tsai (8/5): -
- Mengyun (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Superb experience, fascinating staff. And it is only a few steps to the beach! Also a great place to meet interesting people and make amazing friends here. Would recommend to anyone who's coming to ocean beach. Thanks!

- Christopher (10/5): - Good bang for buck. No complaints. N/a
- Róbert (6/5): -
- Tomasz (7/5): My go to in OB and San Diego… third or fourth stay! - Location, modern well-thought rooms, great staff, clean bathrooms (for a hostel this size), most people are travelers, fridges and food organization. Smoking everywhere (interior court, terrace). Breakfast hours are too short. On my second night, the guest in the bunk above me stank big time and was leaving the room all night every 5-10 minutes, making it absolutely impossible to sleep.
- Michael (10/5): - Fantastic stay. Would definately recommend to anybody!
- Alan Ayala (10/5): - ATENCION DEL PERSONAL, ERAN MUY AMABLES NADA
- Ixe Fernanda (10/5): -
- Yang (10/5): -
- Beer (10/5): Ocean Beach slice of paradise - The art everywhere is amazing. The place is super clean and comfortable. It is 420 friendly outdoors on the patio. It is the coolest hostel I've ever stayed in and I will be back just to stay there That I had to leave early before the free complimentary breakfast nothing on there and it was because I had to catch a flight. It was all my fault. Of course there's really nothing I didn't like about the place
- Aleksandr (8/5): -
- larissa (9/5): - I love how close I was from the beach, stores and restaurants. Lovely! I think needs activities with people in the hostel, so we can get to know each other (since I’m a shy person)
- Tomasz (9/5): - Clean, modern, location
- Ramírez (10/5): - Yes!
- Vahidreza (7/5): Cool hostel to stay. So 70s so hippies. - Location was the best, love the vibe of hostel so 70s so cool. Staff were nice. Kitchen and kitchenware weren’t useful at all. Fridge was a big mess. Breakfast was nothing interesting (no expectation)
- Edward (10/5): - Everything Everything great
- Lila (10/5): I’m so glad I found this hostel in San Diego. It’s all I needed. - Near the seaside. Walking around anywhere . Staff specifically Johnny were so nice and welcoming. It felt like home. All great
- Sol Yanel (9/5): -
- Federico (9/5): -
- Paige (10/5): - Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room and bathroom. Great location by the beach and shops, as well as the bus stop.
- Richard (10/5): Best Hostel In San Diego County. - Great Breakfast, Staff, Location, Guest. Very clean and relaxed hostel. Everything Was Perfect.
- Cody (10/5): Clean, vibrant, chill. You can wake up simply sit down next to someone and probably end up at the zoo haha - The staff is funny as hell and on top of everything! I had such a fun stay there for 4 days and not only the location but even the other people staying at the hostel are just the best. Endless things to do just on that strip but still close to everything as well. And don’t get me started on the fully stocked cooking equipment!!!! There’s really nothing they weren’t on top of nor I can say I didn’t like about it!
- Gracey (8/5): -
- SOUZA DOS SANTOS (10/5): -
- Pushnya (8/5): - Good location, comfortable beds especially for the price. Bathrooms were clean. Really nice staff, made check in and out very easy Listed as having air conditioning, but only had a fan in the room and nothing else. Some stains in the sheets (definitely seemed like they were washed, just some permanent marks left)
- Wyatt (1/5): -
- Alon (5/5): Stonet’s paradise. - The staff was kind and understanding Honestly I had a terrible time there, but I’m giving a decent review because the main issue was with me, not the property. This place is highly suitable for hippies, extra-low-budget travelers, and wierdos, all of whom have in common smoking weed. I am sober and found it extremely disturbing. I asked to cancel and leave at 7 after the first night. I was faced with understanding and cooperation, however they did charge me for the second night as well (out of 4).
- Fares (10/5): -
- Jane (9/5): I highly recommend it to everyone! - Great staff , the art and murals were amazing! Also the cozy hang out area was super cool. The music was sometimes a little loud : I had to tell someone to turn it off when it was being played throughout the hallways at 7:30am. It would have been nice if they played other music beside R n B : maybe some reggae?

- Oropeza (9/5): This place is great! Perfect location without being to loud. Attentive and friendly staff, very cle - This place is great! Perfect location without being to loud. Attentive and friendly staff, very clean place. Everything you need from a hostel.
- Saundra (10/5): My favorite five star hostel! - Staff far exceed your expectation are courteous friendly and downright welcoming to everyone. Very good at housekeeping details. All of the housekeepers are lovely and hard workers cuz it shows. Very diplomatic at assuring guests remain quiet doing quiet hours. Nothing
- Romulo (10/5): - The staff were amazing. The location is very chill, 5 minutes from the beach and a lot of night options. The vibe is incredible. I will be back
- Klara (10/5): -
- baulies (9/5): - Parece pequeño en la foto pero es enorme, hay muuuuucha gente por lo que me sentí súper segura en todo momento Si reservas una habitación compartida tenes que estar listo para escuchar los ronquidos toda la noche
- David (10/5): One of the Best Hostels in the World !! - The Atmosphere is Amazing! Very Clean and House Keeping does an Amazing Job!!!! I want to give a special Thanks to Jackie, Chris, Kimberly and my Man Joe!!! Always keeping the good energy going!!! Samsun taking it to entire different level!!!! No contest!! Thanks so much for everything. Bennon Loved everything.
- Roger (9/5): -
- Helena (7/5): It was really good, liked the hostel - It was really cute and cozy, staff was amazing, kitchen and outdoor patio was incredible The bathrooms were a bit chaotic and the beds could have a bit more privacy like a little curtain in front of them.
