Great location. It’s just a block from the Mission beach on the Pacific side. Cozy facility with friendly service. Guests were given codes to the rooms and front gate. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price. Bathrooms and toilets are clean and functional.

This was the best! I loved staying here. Friday night burgers and pancake breakfast. It beat every hotel easily and to add to it, the volunteers were so hospitable. I really connected with them all. It felt like a distant family reunion.

From the welcoming vibe maintained by the manager Rueben & his awesome staff, to the cleanliness of this super-chill hostel it's no wonder it's one of the top places to stay in San Diego! And when you include the incredible location across from the Belmont Park Rollercoas

I've stayed at this hostel twice now and have had a wonderful experience each time. The room is really cute (I've booked the private room) and the staff are friendly. The hostel is in a convenient location - if you're driving, there is free street parking in the area. I absolutely will plan to visit again next time I'm in SD.
