San Diego hostels

Pros: The room was clean, bed was comfortable, bathrooms pretty well maintained, pleasant staff. Basic breakfast but I guess that is standard for hostels, at least it was something. Not too far from public transportation. HI San Diego took care of my needs while I was checking out the city for a couple days.

Cons: More counter space in the bathrooms would be nice. Several of my toiletries fell in the sink/on the floor because there is not much room for a girl to spread out her things. Also their power source is weak or something. I had to sit around and wait forever for my phone to charge at the end of each day and I tried several outlets in the building. It would have been nice to have an outlet by my bed so I could charge overnight.

Pros: The style, the precision, the staff and the position of the hostel

Cons: Everything perfect

Pros: Great location, right in the heart of downtown. It was a block away from a CVS and close to other grocery stores. Extremely close to the Padre's baseball stadium and about a mile or two away from the USS Midway. For the price and location it can't be beat.

Cons: I chose a shared room with 4 other guys. Our window faced the street. I don't drink alcohol so it was a little hard to get some sleep. We either had the window closed to help muffle the noise and were really hot, or we had the window open and had a lot of outside noise.

Pros: Everything. Clean rooms, good coffee free all day, free use of computers with good WiFi and internet. Awesome and helpful staff! Honestly worth staying here if you can’t get to Lima Point!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything else =) Great location, great staff and volunteers and great atmosphere.

Cons: The beds are a bit uncomfortable but look easy to clean and maintain.

Pros: I like it on general, their breakfast was nice and the staff is pretty helpful and nice

Cons: Did not like the the soap and the room location only it's not facing the street

Pros: Diverse

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The location! In the gaslamp quarter close to restaurants and bars. Nice decoration and environment

Cons: Breakfast with few options. Since is an ancient building in the downtown we listened the noise from outside.

Pros: This hostel is very clean and tidy. The decor is stylish and the walls are all covered with wonderful paintings so if you like arts your eyes will be very pleased.

Cons: The hostel is not the cheapest option but taking their lovely environment into consideration it's still quite reasonable. Apart from that, my room is right above a pub or cafe so it was a bit noisy at night even though they had already installed a soundproof cover to seal the window, which means it cannot be opened.

Pros: An amazing place to stay! The interior of the hostel has so much character, there are murals and unique art on every wall. They have a cozy atrium, a decent number of books and a movie room. The staff was exceptional, friendly and welcoming. The location is fantastic, it's sitting walking distance of anything good in Gaslamp. They also offer communal-style free breakfast.

Pros: The little touches.

Cons: Everyone was so nice.

Pros: Great staff and facilities

Pros: The staff, great people, great fun attitude. Justin full of conversation. Lots of potatoes to eat. beach right in front of hostel. safe, clean except bathroom needs remodeling. maybe they will hire me to remodel it.

Cons: bathroom needs update. everything awesome.

Pros: The day that we were there the breakfast was pancakes with fruit, syrup and whipped cream, my wife is gluten intolerant and we did not partake, looked good though.

Cons: The WiFi reception could have been better on the patio, but the description did say in common areas so we were not expecting it to be everywhere on the property, would have been nice though.

Pros: The Hostel was straight in front of Pacific Beach, and super close to all the restaurants and bar. Amazing location and everything is walking distance, no need to have a car.

Pros: It was colorful and exciting! Flowing with culture and smiles.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Superb location, very clean, decent WiFi.

Cons: No power outlets by the bed, water pressure in the shower is poor. Can't really tell the staff from the guests. Pretty much a Brazilian party.

Pros: Great place to feel home while on vacation

Cons: The hostel desperately needs updating, we stayed in a private room which was ridiculously expensive, and it looked nothing like the pictures, had a wooden roof full of cobwebs and dust, the duvet had mould on and the bathroom stank as the plumbing was so old and clearly didn’t function properly. What made it worse was that we paid for a private room, to arrive at the end of the day to the door open, as well as the emergency exit door which was in the room. How can a hostel leave not one, but two doors open? We were told after complaining about it that “stealing is not likely to happen here”. Very reassuring words when we have passports and all valuables in the room. Only stay there if you are a sole traveller looking to find yourself and you don’t mind music being played until 12am so loud that you can’t sleep.

Pros: The location is ok

Cons: The bed was not comfortable

Cons: Work men started drilling at 8am Sunday morning Worked till late Saturday evening Place was a shambles 1 joined Bathroom and toiled shared with 6+ coupled rooms

Cons: - the building was under construction works and internally it looked like a bombarded place; workers started working at 7.30 am and were using noisy big machines and drilling the walls - unhygienic living conditions with dirty rooms full of dust and bad musty smell and stained bed sheets - Fireproof safety measures were inexistent

Pros: Netflix. Location: 3 mins walk to Grocery outlet store, starbucks within 5 mins walk, 10-15mins walk to the Gaslamp MTR Trolley. But San Diego is quite well connected by train, trolley and busses so location is not quite an emphasis. Daily pass is USD6 + USD2 (for the card).

Cons: MISREPRESENTATION OF INFORMATION - Guest should have been notified before hand that the place is under renovation (drilling starts at 8am, so be ready to get up). No breakfast. No kitchen. Noise - it's like living on the streets, but with a wall and a bed. Everything can be heard clearly - voices, booming car noises, screaming bar leavers. Host did provide earbuds. Lighting - dingy Bed - one flat pillow and you can feel the springs on the bed. Toilet - extremely basic with no place to put your toiletries but the floor. doors open right to the toilet bowl. cracks in toilet wall (apparently because of place under renovation). Smell - the house smells like toilet on the first night. Room sink starts smelling funny when water runs down it. If you walk down the street for a few blocks, it just smells like urine everywhere.

Pros: Ow what a waste of money?

Cons: Location

Cons: No breakfast, not very clean, no other services, the building under remodeling.

Pros: I like the hospitality and management and all

Cons: All good
