San Diego hostels

Pros: Everything was great!

Cons: Nothing. Everything was great.

Pros: Super friendly staff, fun organised activities each day all very well priced, fab location.

Cons: There aren't really any negatives... Easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in! As someone coming from a country where recreational drugs are illegal it was hard to get over the smell though!

Pros: Breakfast was simple, but had everything you need for the morning. Location is great, just over a block from the beach and surrounded by awesome stores and restaurants. There were fun organized events everyday and everyone was so welcoming. Loved my stay here and would definitely come back again!

Pros: Everything! Would definitely recommend it!

Pros: I was only here for 12 hours total...but the vibe was great and I hope to return when I have more time to explore Ocean Beach and take advantage of some of the outings the Hostel offers. Also, in my state of 4am travel delirium, I left my phone there upon check out! The staff contacted me by the next day and was super helpful in sending my item all the way back to Hawaii!! So grateful!!!

Cons: The music playing in the common area was a bit too loud for me...kinda hard to carry on a conversation, but nice to have it nonetheless. Kind of a chill party vibe.

Pros: Best hostel I've stayed at! Great staff, awesome location on the beach and I met many amazing travelers! The hostel also organizes activities which is a great way to socialize and meet other guests especially if you are a solo traveler! I loved my stay here and will definitely be back!

Pros: Super clean and nice Beach Flair, perfect location 2 min from the beach. Bus stop 2 min away. Staff super friendly, breakfast really good (bagels, fruit, orange juice). Super nice people, fun and free activities and program (shuttle, pub crawl, beer pong, bbq, bonfire at beach). Would recommend 100%. Best hostel I have ever stayed at! People hung out together a lot and I met so many new people. Drinking water fountain, sparkling clean and new kitchen, big fridges and freezers to use and back patio to hang out and tv tent with heater to hang out. You can use beach towels for free and can rent boards and bikes. The location (Ocean Beach) is a really nice Hotspot for surfers and to stroll around the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. On Wednesdays super fun farmers and street food market right out front. The staff cleaned rooms, bath room facilities and kitchen daily and even exchanged the towels without me having to request it.

Pros: Great staff, very nice from them to store my luggage. Location was great and very convenient to go to the airport with the direct bus. Nice breakfast with fruits! There is a small wall for more privacy in the bunk beds

Cons: It was more noisy than I would expect (Saturday night). A paddle could be provided for the locker.

Pros: Bathroom and dorms were clean.

Cons: Horrible management, did not follow their own policies. People were running around, having sex and drinking in the dorms. Screaming and running did not stop til 4 in the morning, even though there's a clear no noise rule after 11pm. Breakfast and laundry service not available at 7 am as they promised. Will definitely not be staying there again.

Pros: I've stayed at USA Hostel in San Diego many times over the years, always top-notch in cleanliness and facilities. Very sad to hear that they are not renewing their lease.

Pros: Good location

Cons: It is kinda loud during the day. Bathrooms are mixed gender.

Pros: Awesome staff, friendly people, lots of music and activity, super close to the beach, lovely patio, cozy hammocks, incredible place for sunsets

Pros: Yes

Cons: Warmer weather

Pros: Friendly staff, great location right in front of the beach, common areas to hang out, kitchen, boards for rental...

Cons: I stayed in the private bungalow and there wasn’t a wardrove. Some shelfs or hangers would be good at least. Just for saying something.

Pros: Great location. Building is old, needs renovation.

Pros: You are ON THE BEACH litterally. Unbeatable for the Price. I would definitely go back. Staff was very friendly.

Cons: Like I mentionned I wish I could've had more blankets because There is no heat in the building.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing staff, very helpful. Interesting people staying at the hostel. Clean bathrooms, good breakfast.

Cons: It takes one hour by bus to go to the beach, but it's no problem at all. Location is still wonderful.

Pros: vibes Guests in this hostel are very diverse from different perspectives. They get along very well and you are also felt welcomed. There is an enclosed balcony with privacy as well as a study/meeting library inside this single property. There are more rooms than you will have thought of. When you came across people in the hallway, they don't look strange to you, and neither do you feel a stranger to them. The room is very clean. Recommended for traveling alone.

Pros: Location, close to public transportation, a lot of options of good restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy.

Cons: Old furniture, it wasn’t very clean, bed are not comfortable, staff never was there when I needed it, not professional workers. Breakfast and dinner it’s free, but also no good food. They have coffee, bread and cereal, milk was outside not in the fridge, they have pineapple as “fruit” not even cut, so everybody was touching the fruit taking pieces for each other. People live there so it’s not a hostel is a house who rent room to people. I didn’t have the “hostel experience”

Pros: Casual atmosphere. Real windows that were open for air flow. Colorful decoration in hallways. Lending books. Kitchen available.

Cons: No chair or cabinet or box to put my stuff on in bedroom. Library and office space is in basement - stuffy, bad air.

Pros: library is great

Pros: Friendly chill vibe. Nice neighborhood. Several nice restaurants nearby

Pros: Room was clean. There was an issue with the shower in my room 216 and caused a mess on the floor. But clean hostel and no issue with staff. And surrounded by everything

Cons: Stunk

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I only wanted to use the shower after a morning at the beach. I was getting ready for a meeting later. I could not find anyone to check in with, so I went to find the bathroom. The shower had a urinal in it that was filled will pee! The sink had a tampon floating in it. I left and didn't use or touch anything.

Cons: The dormitory smells like wet garbage, like there have been homeless people living there

Pros: The beds are fine and there were blankets. It's cozy and warm.

Cons: The breakfast wasn't good tbh.

Pros: Friendly staff, they work very hard to work with you. For the price you can't go wrong!

Cons: From the outside it needs to look a little more inviting to attract more people.

Pros: Andre and the entire staff have done an excellent job at RK Hostel! Inviting and friendly, I had a very enjoyable stay in the clean and comfortable rooms. The coffee was great, the breakfast was breakfast, and the location snuggles on the very fringes of Little Italy, which smells like pizza, cannoli and virgin olive oil all rolled into one incredible olfactory experience. Enjoy authentic Italian groceries and wines at Mona Lisa right down the street.

Pros: The staff was great, kind and very helpful

Cons: A little cold in the building but nothing a jacket can cover
