I couldn't sleep all of my nights. First night there was loud sound of storm, what was played from reception (tilly more). Second time it was loud people from hostel.. Television, etc....I could sleep all of my stay. Nobody cares about sleep time after 10pm Socket and light didn't worked near my bed

Very nice and helpful staff. When I needed something, they helped to me :) Pretty good location between airport and downtown. Easy to get everywhere

dorms are not isolated from the kitchen in terms of sound. When someone eat, cook or do anything in the kitchen/common area, there is no separation and could be annoying for sleeping. 2 bathrooms for all the beds are definitely not enough.

really confortable beds, great position at Little Italy'district and 5 min walking to the tolley stop. Wifi works perfectly, clean and good general atmosphere.

Too many sick people and not clean enough. A little chilly inside later at night.

Helpful pod share people and staff, parking, semi-private sleep area and nice group area.Located in Little Italy!

Overall, It was good experience.

Need safety rails on the top bunks, was woken by someone falling off their bunk. Need better communication on the parking spots available. Need better directions on finding the building, I drove around the area several time and couldn’t figure out what building it was. Walk around a while and finally called and had someone explain what to look for.

Good location, felt safe staying here. Beds were comfortable. Thank goodness they had air conditioning.

This Podshare has a no-draping of towels rule, which means you can't drape your towel to curtain your pod and give yourself more privacy. This is a bit unusual; I've stayed in podshares all over the world and most of them give you a privacy curtain or something similar. In Podshare San Diego, the no-draping rule is okay in some pods, which have sufficient privacy already, but not in others, which are very exposed. There might be good reasons for this rule—to foster openness or prevent sketchy behaviors—but there are two negative consequences: 1) Some pods have extremely poor sleep hygiene, with light leaking in, air blowing in from the air conditioner, or people passing by, which is a nightmare for humans who have difficulty sleeping, and 2) Because we can't drape our towels, they never dry out.

I had a great time at the Podshare thanks entirely to Erica, who does ALL the work to keep that place running, from the time she wakes up until the time she goes to sleep. She takes extremely good care of the guests, keeps the place clean and functioning, and fosters a fun community there. The location in Little Italy is fantastic, can't be beat, with lively streets and great food and activities just steps away.

The kitchen was a mess and overall the hostel wasn’t really clean. It also didn’t have any house rules which let people stay up loudly until 3am or so.

The pods are actually quite comfortable and I’d say they work great as living space. Also, it was by far the cheapest place to find Downtown.

Bed wasn't comfortable. Thin blankets. No curtains or anything to protect privacy.

Good location.

If there is noise in common area, everyone will hear. Some places to sleep are too exposed to every one sitting in the common area. Reception not 24/7, only like from 10AM

Very unusual hostel: there is one large common room. Guests sleep like in the pods. Beautiful design. Concrete walls may seem creepy but it went okay. Very friendly & helpful staff.

I had requested a towel, but due to me coming in late and leaving early every day, I was unable to follow through with it and never got one. Thankfully I had a small one of my own. They were apologetic and made sure I would not be charged for one. The common area did get dirty quickly but it wasn't a problem really.

The staff was really helpful! My flights got rearranged and I ended up getting in after-hours. They made sure I knew exactly what to expect and exactly how to enter the location since it would be locked. The location itself, is a really cool layout. It's got everything you need and the people who stay there are really friendly! The beds provide a certain level of privacy but it's pretty open otherwise. Mine was very comfortable but the pillows left something to be desired. There was ample storage as well. The bathroom was clean enough, there are quite a few people sharing it so it's clean all things considered. I felt save and comfortable!

This hostel didn't have any parking available (I believe as mentioned in their description). Which the parking was street parking only & very limited. Especially since most parking on the streets had paid meter parking available only. There were only two restrooms available onsite at this hostel, which caused for sometimes a long waiting line. Make sure to bring yourself a bath towel, because this hostel charges $5 to use one (unless u follow them on IG, then its free). The sleeping area that I slept in had an open ceiling to the other common areas. Which was a bit noisy at times. After 10 pm, the lights were out & the common area was closed for quietness for others. These sleeping pods weren't private from others. Meaning that there wasn't a curtain to enclose yourself from others as well.

The customer service was polite & helpful. The mattress that I slept on was comfortable as well. The location was within the Little Italy area, which was close to the 5 freeway entry/exit. As well as the location was close to lots of restaurants, less then two miles from the oceanfront, & some nightlife activities. The hostel did have lockers to store your personal items, but they seemed limited at the time I had visited.

Just one bathroom for 10 beds, you have to be efficient

Quiet hours are taken very seriously as people have to get up to go to work. Nice common area, at the edge of little italy which makes it a nice and safe area.

Floor was dirty. If hostel doesn't have a clean floor and you need to keep your shoes on while you go to the bathroom, it's not good. Also parking space and towels cost extra. Place was hard to find and we dro ve at least 5 times past it.

I liked staff and other travelers and athmosphere was nice. There was a big tv and kitchen. Wifi was working. Beds were okay, but my pag was too big to fit on locker.

Stayed in May 2022

The kitchen and bathroom were not as clean and kept up.

I like that Podshare provides a chill, friendly, and home-y environment.

The rooms are not completely separeted from the living room so lights and sounds are there all night long.

The location is great. The beds are big.

Stayed in February 2022

Despite after 10 being "quiet hours", members of the staff, I believe, carried on a conversation for hours after midnight in a common area while I was trying to sleep.

Good location, clean, good value, staff was helpful, facilities were what I needed for travel
