By far the most organized hostel I've been too! Everyone who was working there were so nice! For those who likes to cook, the kitchen is nice and clean. We had the chance to enjoyed free beer, which was pretty cool to meet people!!!!

Good location, amenities, welcoming, clean beds, clean kitchen, free breakfast! Great service, freebies in the bathroom, cool atmosphere and activities most nights, and relatively cheap for its location. Very pleasant stay.music plays in the hallways throughout the day which is comforting.

This is by far one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The place is clean and well maintained. The location couldn't have been better and the others guests were a blast to hang out with. Overall, this place is a can't miss if you are heading to San Diego.

This is hands down one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Nice decoration, nice colours, staff was friendly, eager to help with directions, the manager was really sweet, he even offered to give us a ride to the mall. Wi-fi was 100% reliable the entire time we were there! Good vibes all around. The location is great... More
