Traveller reviews

“Very good”
31 Mar 2025
Stayed for 9 nights for a conference. The common areas are great and the kitchen is well equipped. However the beds are not very comfortable and there are no open windows in the rooms so the air can get stuffy. There was a smoker in my room that made the whole room stink from cigarettes. Would recommend this place for travelers on a budget.

“Great option in San diego”

The hostel has everything a traveler needs to have a great stay.

“Very good for a group of 3 or 4 friends and good price”

Good location, heating in the room (useful in winter) but also air conditioning, bed was comfortable, many parking lots around, good price for a hostel in the city center, very nice decorations, room and bathroom were clean, of you’re 3 or 4 you can share a room together

Staff were very friendly. Hostel was very well maintained and clean, and the beds were comfy. They had good security, with a locked door and giving each guest a pass they had to use to get in/show to the staff.

Location of the hostel and the prices are fair! The complementary breakfast helps you start your day! The facilities were very clean and it was calm and quiet! I liked the games rooms and all the spaces provided to create opportunities to meet people.
