One fool kept coming and going, talking on his phone at 1am, 2am, and 3am..just being a fool, disturbing the entire room.

There was no breakfast offered. I believe it was room 409.

Stain on our bedsheets. Any of the rooms facing the street are incredibly noisy. Hostel provided complimentary ear plugs but beware of this if you are a light sleeper.

Nice spacious private room. Everything we needed with a sink in the room and shared bathrooms were relatively clean.

Found baby roach on my shelf on the last day. Then tried to book for another work event but the prices skyrocketed way too much because of the event happening.

Very great location work wise as a brand ambassador.

A bit noisy, hostelling etiquette from other guests was lacking, and bathroom cleanliness could have been better.

Great communal area and well equipped kitchen.

No information that there is no regular window in the room. I expected to open the window and get some fresh air.

Room was very clean, bathroom was comfortable.

I mentioned them above.

Overall a good experience. The lounge and kitchen area was great. Nice TV and it had a charging station which is nice. Beds were not super comfortable and it was very hard to get up to the top bunk. I'm 62 and overweight so it was very risky. I fell off the ladder and injured my foot.

Maybe shower mats could be nice? I used the towels provided but just a suggestion. There was also no dish soap for any of the kitchen sinks?

I loved the open space on the second floor with the game room and kitchen. I also loved the shower timer that helped keep showers short.

The slant of the floor in my room, which threw off my orientation and actually made me dizzy. And the fact that there was no way to see out of or open the window.

The staff were outstanding, the location was wonderful and the place was clean.

I liked how the room included a restroom and staff accommodated me well. Kitchen was well equipped. The restrooms were available on every corner.

The walls are very thin, and you could hear the background music from the common areas, which made it impossible to sleep before 11 p.m. When we arrived, they charged us an additional fee because “the tax had increased” — I find it really stingy that they didn’t absorb the cost themselves, especially considering we booked the hotel with breakfast included, a service they decided to cancel without offering any kind of compensation. Yet they still charged us $13 upon arrival? They mention having partnerships with restaurants, but it’s just one place and only a 10% discount. Unfortunately, everything was already paid for, and canceling would have cost us, not them.

The location is great, the staff is super friendly and helpful

In the room the fridge made a high pitch noise that came often and you had to hit it on top to make it stop. In the room there was an air cleaner that could not be stopped, and it was noisy, so it gave a constant white noise sound, which was annoying.

Clean, comfortable bed and pillows, good facilities, great location!

Great location, friendly staff, really nice vibe to the hostel. I also loved the curtains that go across the beds for extra privacy.

Unfortunately being in the heart of San Diego has its downsides: at night the street is super loud and all noises are very well heard from the rooms. Fortunately, the hostel furnished free ear plugs.

Private room with private bathroom was ok. The bed was a bunk bed and the bottom bed (king size) was a little uncomfortable. Breakfast served was a bagel and a banana with coffee and tea available (simple but much more than expected).

Even if I asked for a quieter room in the courtyard and was given exactly what I asked for, it was super noisy during the night (loud music/beat from one of the downstairs bars?). In the morning, either someone was disposing of glass bottles into a special container or they were being picked up, but the sound of shattering glass bottles went on forever. The hostel is located in the Gaslamp Quarter, which always seems alive.

Clean, artsy modern design, newly renovated, nice breakfast, best coffee - quality and very safe with staff checking the entry passes upon entering the building. Nice engaged staff.
