The rooms are a bit old and tacky could do with a upgrade

Location is great staff are really friendly

Just know that this is a "hostel" with that type of vibe. Not a "hotel". We had a private room with private toilet facilities, but the majority of the property is shared common areas.

The location is very close to the beach. The staff was very kind and assisted with our revised reservation. The lower cost at this location is nice.

Party vibe

That it was right on the beach

From the incredible beach location with hammocks on the deck and great restaurants next door to my cosy, comfy and creatively appointed private room and the helpful staff and hot breakfast: everything was a total delight. Thank you!

You should just improve some things in the rooms

The hostel is really nice, the people and employees are cool and receptive!! The location is good, You should just improve some things in the rooms, like put more mirrors

Waking up and stepping out of my room, I had the most amazing view of the ocean and Pacific Beach pier.

It was a bit chilly in the rooms, but a sweater helped.

Amazing staff and it’s right on the beach!

It's in a perfect location right on the beach! Both the visitors and the staff were spot on! Helpful in any way they could be. Great price, would recommend

Quiet times are not followed or "enforced". I've had other hostels do a better job at ensuring quiet times are followed and respected by all travelers. Cat roaming free in the room and on the beds (It's the hostels cat). Note: I'm sure they would have done something about it if I said I did not like cats or prefer not having one around, but I'm not afraid or allergic to cats, so I didn't bother bringing it up. Also, if you like cats I guess this might be a plus to you. The rest of the stuff I "did not like" I expected since it is a hostel such as (number of people in room, snoring, ...). But still fine for the the price. Note: they have a sign that say you can ask to switch rooms if your roommate snores and they offer earplugs for free.

Location: - beach right there (nice view from the balcony as well). - busy area. - bunch of food options. Volleyball (played everyday with other travelers and staff from the hostel). Breakfast: you can make your own eggs and pancakes Price Offering to change your room if someone snores (have not tried it only saw the sign). They also offer free earplugs. Free towels.

The bathroom was clogged, the restroom wasn't very clean

The location, the staff, the environment

I wish the bunk beds had things like curtains or privacy screens, and shelves with outlets, like I've seen at other hostels. Also, the bathroom in our 8 bed women's room was a traditional bathroom, so if someone was taking a shower or was in there a long time, you had to go downstairs and hope the one off the deck was open. In other hostels, they have toilet stalls and shower stalls so that there is more availability.

It is RIGHT on the beach which is what drew me to this hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed women's room, and because it is upstairs in the back, it was a pretty quiet room - probably the best location for me. I did wear earplugs to sleep since I tend to go to bed pretty early. There are daily events which are fun, and the deck is great - hammocks and couches, and there is always fun music playing and people hanging out. They also have beach chairs and stuff to borrow which was awesome. I went to Heart Yoga in nearby Mission Beach for beach yoga and it was lifechanging.

Restrooms are too old and look nasty, beds are not solid, common areas smell

Mainly the location

The staff was very nice as well as the atmosphere. Good people around. The bed was comfortable. The location.

This hostel is great for the location and meeting people. The rooms are as clean as they can be taking in the factor that the beach is on the door step. Free breakfast is great and they have lots of activity options if you are travelling alone

Wish the beds were less squeaky.

My favorite place to stay in San Diego. Staff is always fantastic and treats every guest like family. Always great vibes and great people from all around to make the experience more than memorable!

It could have been a little cleaner, but we also understand that it’s by the beach and lots of people living in a small space.

The location was great and the people and staff there are so nice! We had such a great time.

This is a great little spot for anyone looking to stay in a great space. The beach is right at your front door, and it's a fun place. It's definitely a place people have fun at, so it may not be a perfect fit for an older crowd, but the staff is super friendly, helpful and you can see how much they care about each other. They bring that care to the people there.

After more than 15 years back in this outstanding hostel. It is not only the location - at the beach, ocean / sunset view included - what makes this hostel so cool. Friendly and helpful staff and volunteers :-) - pancakes, eggs and coffee provided for breakfast. Good vibes and programme every day. Good facilities, restaurants, shopping closeby.
