The reception staff were very friendly. They didn't have our room ready, as we reached before time but they arranged something for us. They even suggested places around . The room was very clean. The hostel is well maintained and a great common area for everyone to chill and mingle. They had free breakfast in the morning as well. Overall a great stay. Highly recommended !!

The employees are super friendly, and helpful, and the rooms are very clean. I stayed 2 nights with my two teenagers, and it was our first time staying in a hostel, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so very much to the employees at the front desk for everything! :) We felt safe and comfortable, and I feel like it was an awesome experience. We plan on returning to San Diego, and we will definitely want to stay at this hostel again.

I had an amazing time with my wife for our anniversary. The location was amazing right in the heart of the Gas lamp quarters. Which is the historic region of San Diego. In addition, it is walking distance from the train station, beach, and Balboa Park. The atmosphere of the Hostel was a vibe. Super artistic, well put together, and Instagram perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

This was my first time at a hostel and I loved it. The common spaces were clean and the other guests were friendly and accommodating. You could tell they had a system for managing people flow, cleaning schedules, etc. I appreciated that they provided complimentary ear plugs, though my room was quiet and I didn't need them. They provided a locker for my suitcase and only charged me $4 for a lock, which I feel like they could have taken advantage of the situation and overcharged me, but they didn't. The downsides were that the emergency exits weren't clear, the power went out for a short while, and at least one of the bathrooms on our floor was closed which meant sometimes having to hunt for another option. All in all, those things didn't bother me much. The location in the Gas Lamp district is unbeatable and convenient to the convention center and all the restaurants. When I visited on April 20, 2022, masks were recommended but not required. Proof of vaccination was required. Amazing experience. I highly recommend.
