A particularly good hostel. The front desk was welcoming and the location was excellent. It is safe to show cards when entering and leaving. The kitchen is also nice. Breakfast is usually full. You can have hot tea and hot chocolate all day,

The location of the Youth Hostel is in Little Italy. There are so many restaurants nearby that you can't finish eating. It is also a good place for tourists to come out at night. The room has heating, the cabinet is a bit small, you have to bring your own lock, the bed is divided into the lower bunk, the upper bunk, a bit short, it is easy to bump your head. The kitchen is very large and the kitchenware is complete, superb. You have to own pancakes for breakfast, and oatmeal is provided. Tea and coffee are free. The atmosphere of the Youth Hostel is very good. If you live on the second floor, there is only one toilet, so you have to run downstairs often. WiFi is often disconnected and unstable. The colleagues in the Youth Hostel are very nice and have a good attitude. There is a laundry room, but only one machine. Still a good hostel, well received.

This is my first time trying a youth hostel. It is quite satisfactory and tidier than domestic university dormitories. The service staff are enthusiastic. Everywhere in the city center, transportation is convenient. I met a young man from the Netherlands🇳🇱 by chance and had a great conversation!

GGuest UserWe had the corner room on the second floor which was large and bright. The bathroom is large enough to change clothes in. The location is perfect. We could walk to a bench to watch the sunset in less than 2 minutes. I took a walk down Mission Blvd to Belmont Park which is about 2.2 miles away. The walk was delightful. Lots of small businesses and fun looking houses. Bed was comfortable, there was a small refrigerator and microwave and coffee pot. Thank you!

GGuest UserStayed in the hotel 3 nights, the staff was very friendly. Would definitely stay again, the hotel safe. Easy to access a mini store that opens early for snacks, ATM, drinks, and more. Accidentally left an item behind and the staff was extremely accommodating and was willing to ship it to me. Highly recommend the hotel if you are in the San Diego area.

JJessicaHotel was quaint and quiet but also in need of a lot of upgrades. There was no outlet available where they had the microwave so I had to move it myself into the bathroom area to use it. At check-in I was told check-out time was noon but housekeeping was banging on the door at 11:30, telling me check-out was at 11 and very rude about it.

GGuest UserIf you are a pet owner this is an exceptional property and even otherwise it's a hidden gem. Surprisingly low vagrant activity on the property and the outside lighting is fair. Probably why the management can be nosey and pushy. You get a used car salesman feel at the front desk but, the stay is worth it, if they don't become passive aggressive with you. It does have that California 'control everything' type nuances....Rooms are clean, you won't be afraid to get into the beds or use the furniture. Small accommodating pool and staff doesn't make you uncomfortable using it. Cool location overlooking dog beach in OB, if you are lucky enough to get the ocean facing side. I do recommend this property.

九力8915The location of the hotel is very good, next to the lively ”Little Italy” dining street, close to the attractions such as the aircraft carrier USS Midway and Victory Kiss and the light rail station. However, the sound of planes taking off and landing at the nearby airport is relatively loud, and the hotel facilities are relatively shabby. There is no coffee machine and it is not convenient to drink hot water.

GGuest UserThe location is on a concrete island. Literally. The on ramp to the freeway & the off ramp from the freeway. It was difficult to find the way to the “entrance” I felt vey nervous getting out of my car. It was nighttime and many street people hanging out at the building. The night clerk was so sweet and helpful. I think she could see the fear in my eyes. She put me in a room within view of the office. She also let me keep my car in front of office. The room was clean and comfy. The carpet was disgusting. Shower head barely worked. Overall, for the rate it was a good deal. They need to install a safety door latch. . I would have slept better. Checkout was super easy and friendly.
