Words can't describe the experience I had at this hostel. Reuben was an awesome host, along with everyone else. Very accommodating and always there to help. The location is the best, walking distance to everything, but also convenient location for transportation. Parking is easy as well if you have a car. I loved the activities the hostel provides for free every day. Not to mention, the amenities you receive like breakfast in the morning & some nights were they cook for guests. I never felt unsafe or bothered at all by other guests. Comfortable beds & enough privacy & security. I loved that it's a small hostel so it never feels too crowded. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely consider coming back in the future.

This property offers excellent value for money, being conveniently located near the beach. The other guests were respectful and quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay. While the area may not be the most exciting part of San Diego, it is still within walking distance of Pacific Beach. Special thanks to Santi for being exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

Steps to the Beach and Belmont Park

Excellent hostel and literally steps to the beach and Belmont Park. Loved the hostel experience and the free breakfast was a nice surprise!! Parking options are limited to say the least and overnight is tricky so definitely read the signs. Everything was in walking distance and the neighborhood felt very safe. I would definitely recommend this hostel.
Shared space clean and comfortable
Upstairs no elevator, but clean and welcoming.  Plenty bathrooms and several showers. PERFECT
Security in place so the guests feel safe and comfortable

Morning Coffee and breakfast was a nice surprise!!

The place was clean and staff was nice but it was so crowded and nowhere to park. The man told me to park across the street and I could stay there up to 3 days. Good thing my husband stayed by the car until 1am with his friends and the police told him that the car was gonna get towed if he didn’t move it. If he didn’t stay out that late, we would have been towed. Nothing like the pictures online. Also there’s an advertisement of breakfast included with the stay. You gotta cook your own food and wash your own dishes.
